5.0 out of 5 stars CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS from Usbourne Famous Lives, 6 Feb 2007
By ABCeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
which aims to:-

'retell the stories of fascinating people bringing them to life so vividly,......it's as if you're there..'

'In 1492 Christopher Colombus set sail across the Atlantic, on a voyage into the unknown. He was looking for a quicker route to the Indies.
What he found was a whole New World...'

Durable board covers, open to 64 high quality pages, split into 8 main chapters:-

(1) Going to sea
(2) A royal request
(3) The first voyage
(4) Land ahoy!
(5) Triumphant return
(6) The battle for Hispaniola
(7) Fall from glory
(8) The final voyage

culminating with a useful and well-summarised 2-page timeline, entitled, 'My life at sea'.

This super book also includes three maps:-

The route of the first voyage : 1492-1493
The route of the third voyage : 1498-1500
The route of the fourth voyage : 1502-1504

Vividly illustrated throughout, with some cartoons, this is one title in a series proven to double up as a useful 'quick reference', when required.
Clear easy to read text, with a recommended age guide of 7-11 years.

Other titles include:-

Winston Churchill(Famous Lives)
Captain Cook (Famous Lives)
Nelson (Famous Lives)
Alexander the Great (Famous Lives)
