An enormous amount of research went into the writing of this series. There is a remarkable amount of detail in each biography. While each selection is short, the reader learns a lot of information that may become the basis of a detailed research project.
In Volume One, the author begins in ancient Egypt and then proceeds to research historical figures in medieval times. Examples include Nefertiti, Charlemagne, Genghis Khan, and Niccolo Machiavelli. The writing style is pleasant, combining facts in a easy to digest reading format. This facilitates appeal to a wide range of ages, from middle-grade students to curious adults.
As a fellow historian and retired educator, I would not hesitate recommending this book to any reader seeking a peek into dynamic figures of history.
