Product Review

‘Great for both kids and adults.’ Sunday Times Travel Magazine on Spain, the first book in this series - Greece is just as good.

‘Littered with amausing cartoons, recommendations on where to go and maps to help the readers get their bearings.’
Shropshire Star (about the series)

‘This thoroughly readable resource is the ideal entry point - for young - (or old) minds.’ Everything France (on France, the second book in this series)

A rough guide to the history of Greece with maps and tourist tips, for those who want to be well informed but don’t want to take too long over it. More fun than the brief histories at the front of most popular guide books and much shorter than most standard histories, it can be read on the flight or ferry over. It gives a clear outline of modern Greek history as well as of the ancient period which most people already know about. The reader is taken on an easy journey from the remote past right up to the present day. There are cartoons, maps and eyewitness tips on where to go, and there's a simple timeline at the back and a list of rulers with their dates.
