ACHUKA Book of the Day 21 Jun 2022
Already the fifth book in Dominic Sandbrook’s children’s history series. Adventures in Times is a fantastic series written by a historian with a novelistic flair for high incident. In an Author’s Note at the end of this book, he explains that, because little is known about Cleopatra’s early years, and the rest of historical evidence comes mainly from the Romans who naturally had a negative view of her, “this book is a little different from other Adventures in Time… You may be surprised, though, to learn that the really outlandish stories are based on historical evidence.”
