3.0 out of 5 stars Mixture of fiction and ancient history, 1 May 2008
By Humpty Dumpty (Wall St, Upton Snodsbury) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seven Wonders Of The Ancient World (Paperback)
This is a large-format book with full-page illustrations, a description of the Seven Wonders of the World from ancient history jazzed up with with a rather weak and contrived story.

I think the fictional element could have been dumped in favour of a more detailed description of each "wonder" as the story adds almost nothing.

The large illustrations are certainly bold but of uneven quality; while The Statue of Zeus and The Lighthouse at Alexandria are striking images, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are pretty feeble - more shopping mall than Kew Gardens!
