In narrative form, Ms. Renault focuses on the various individuals involved in the Greek/Persian Battles, imitating the ancient historian Herodotus. Using this writing method, she brings history alive!
I started reading this book aloud to my boys when we were studying Persia and Greece and specifically these battles. Unfortunately, my eight year old did not find it interesting so I exclusively read it aloud to my eleven year old. As a result, its completion took months and made our comprehension rather disjointed.
-We own this book.
