DK History at its Very Best,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Aztecs: The Fall of the Aztec Capital (DK Discoveries) (Hardcover)
There are numerous children's books that focus on Aztec civilization. "Aztecs: The fall of the Aztec Capital" is one of the few books that centers around Hernan Cortes' conquest of Mexico. The story of the Spanish conquest is one of the most dramatic stories of all human history. How did a small band of Spanish adventurers conquer an Empire of millions? It is a memorable story of ambition, courage, greed, cruelity and great success.
Over the years, DK Publishing has produced a number of great children's books. One of the imprints of DK Publishing is "DK Discoveries". The entire series of books are absolutely first rate. The series marries good writing with first rate illustration. "Aztecs: the Fall of the Aztec Capital" is one of the best books in that series. The author Richard Platt, is one best writers of children's history. The illustrator Peter Dennis is one of the best artists working in both adult and child historical illustration. This is a great book and I highly recommend it. |
