Review: This book was everything I hoped it'd be: 1. Superb illustrations 2. Excellent telling of the story of the battle - in detail 3. Excellent 'did you know?' style inserts to add extra tidbits to the text 4. Excellent section discussing how we come by our knowledge of the battle, archaeology, documents, Bayeux tapestry etc very insightful even for young kids who might be wondering the same thing (and often ask) 5. Family trees to show the connections between combatants 6. Even though the book is aimed at children, it in no way patronises them as some books might, it really digs into the detail of the history and assumes kids are smart enough to understand it (which they are) I definitely recommend it (and the other books in this series if they are as good as this one)
