Format:Paperback
This book introduces children to the historical topic of William Wallace in a fun and fact filled manner, giving much detail about the blood and guts spilled during this bloody time. It is written in an easy to understand vocabulary and discusses the exaggeration of stories through time (like Wallace supposedly fighting a lion) and the different faces of Wallace (no one really knows what he looked like) with many humorous illustrations throughout.
A fantastic way of getting children around 8 years old and over interested in history.

William Wallace and all that
I think the book is very clever and very amusing. I recommend this to anybody that likes gruesome yet funny stories.
The book was very easy to read even though William Wallace came to a horrible end.

Great LIttle History Book

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great series that my kids love 8 and 12. This book gave lots of historic info that was perfect for a 3rd-4th grade class project. It also was fun to read for an 8 year old who often refuses to do so!
