Amazon.co.uk Review
Ancient Greece gives a fascinating insight into the world of the Ancient Greeks by drawing in information ranging from the clothes they wore and the food they ate to examinations of their spiritual beliefs and who the Greek Gods really were.

Illustrated with stunning photographs that complement the concise, easy-to-digest text, Ancient Greece is the ideal book to lend a helping hand with those tricky homework projects, and provides a superb introduction to one of the most famous cultures in world history. Age 9 and over. --Susan Harrison
