Bread

by Carol Jones

1. Every book opens with the historical background of the food, offering interesting details that may surprise readers; for example, readers may not know that our Stone-Age ancestors ate a type of coarse bread.2. Each title presents how the food is made both by hand in small shops and by large-scale production factories.

3. A flowchart introduces all the steps involved in large-scale production, from raw materials through shipping and marketing the goods.

4. A world map highlights how this food is eaten in different countries, and a recipe allows readers to prepare this food at home.

About the author

The Concubine's Child, set in 1930s Malaya, was my first novel for adults. It was inspired by twenty-five years of annual visits to Malaysia to stay with my partner's family. The Boy with Blue Trousers , set in China and Australia, is my latest historical fiction. Previously, I have written more than thirty books for younger readers.

Born in Australia, I have spent most of my life in Melbourne, working as an English and drama teacher and as an editor of children's magazines. I have been a full-time writer since 1999.
