The Secrets of Stonehenge Bewertungen

'lots of interesting information ... made easy to understand through the detailed pictures.' Juno 'Mick Manning and Brita Granstrom are a superb combination... A wonderful book for youngsters (and adults) about one of the greatest ancient sites in the world.' Offspring 'Light years away from the dull post-war black and white text books which many of us were brought up on.' Evergreen 'I will actually remember what I've learned about Stonehenge from now on. That's because Brita Granstrom and Mick Manning have done again what they do so well. They find a topic and then they find out all there is to know about it, after which they make a deceptively simple non-fiction picture book.' Bookwitch 'Fun, colourful introduction to one of Britain's most enigmatic monuments ... a great asset for children to learn from.' - Our Book Reviews 'Artfully making history accessible using captions and drawings..the mystery behind the giant stones is explored with satisfying depth.'

Books for Keeps 'Fascinating' Irish Examiner 'A new book from this talented duo is always a real treat! ... Intricately detailed, the pictures give a wealth of information and are fun to look at as well. ... I learnt a lot from this fascinating book.' Parents in Touch
