Description
Book SynopsisLan Cook (Author) Lan joined Usborne after working as a bookseller. She absolutely loves learning about anything and everything. She has lived in China, attempted to create the perfect aquarium biotope, studied Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at Cambridge University, and can hit an archery target from 100 feet away. Lan has always loved collecting knowledge and as many weird facts as possible, so working for Usborne really is a dream job!
Laurent Kling (Illustrator) Laurent Kling started his career as an illustrator in the 2000s. He works mainly for young people, where he is called upon to make historic or scientific subjects more fun, and his clients have included Bayard, Fleurus, Milan and Larousse Actes Sud. He has also had comic books published in Canada by Editions de la Pastèque.
Trade ReviewTold in a light hearted, tongue-in-cheek manner and with comic-book style illustrations, the facts and information are easy to absorb. * The Scotsman *
With a helpful glossary and index at the back, and colour, adventure and discovery on every page, there could be no better introduction to life in the Stone Age.
* Lancashire Evening Post *
One of the best resources I have found written for this time period. It is written in an incredibly engaging way and is both entreating and informative. * Reading Zone *
