5.0 out of 5 stars Review of the Encyclopedia of the Ancient World, February 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Encyclopedia of the Ancient World (Hardcover)

This is an outstanding book on life in ancient China, Egypt, Greece and Rome. It is well-written and easy to use with outstanding illustrations. The information is broken down into useful areas suitable for both adults and children. It deals with all areas of life and beliefs in these ancient cultures. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in reading and learning about life in the ancient world.

I enjoyed reading this book immensely. It seems the perfect book to introduce life in the ancient world, but even more experienced history-readers can find fun facts in this book. The illustrations are beautiful, and very helpful.
