I adored this book - packed with fascinating facts which children and adults alike will enjoy! Coming from Shropshire I was amazed to learn that Captain Webb was the first man to swim across the English Channel! How did I not know this?
I love the clear layout of the book and the timelines are excellent!
A lovely book!
