Review :
"At last a book of substance to develop our pupils' knowledge, skills and understanding. I look forward to using it. Magnificent." Gavin Hannah, Summer Fields School "The layout of the book is excellent - clear and approachable with very good illustrations ... An excellent series and well worth purchasing to get your child interested in history but - be warned - you will almost certainly end up reading it yourself first." Matthew Smith, Attain magazine "I love the fact that your History books are chronological - such a rare thing and makes so much more sense than the way the National Curriculum does history." Caroline Hampton, Home Educator "This is the book I have been waiting for. It is written with style, wit and balance, dealing comprehensively with all the main aspects of the period chronalogically, but not shying away from historical debates...Above all it is enjoyable, well-informed, authoritative and stylish - just what is needed to cultivate enthusiasm for History at Key Stage 3." Jonathan Watts, Head of History, Benenden School "The latest Galore Park History book will be a godsend to all those who for years have been been coping with poor quality textbooks containing little information and a poor sense of narrative. It contains all the essential information (and more) in an accessible format...this book will surely be the mainstay of history teaching at Key Stage 3 for years to come." Geoffrey Whitehead, Deputy Head, Vinehall School
