Churchill Made Fun
9 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my nine-year-old since we went to Blenheim Palace last year and I wanted to educate him a bit more on Churchill. What a GREAT, fun, amusing book. I love it. It's kind of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"-meets-real-history.
Now I have to let HIM read it -- though it was he who led me to the "Dead Famous" and "The Knowledge" series, having been given two of them on British Airways flights ... one of which was Alan Macdonald's wonderful "Triffic Chocolate."
