Julia Eccleshare's comment:
Everything important that’s happened in the world – in pictures, brilliant!
Lovereading comment:
If you’re not into history but feel you need to know just a little bit more than you do, then this is the book for you. The entire world history from how the world began (probably) through Ancient China, the Dark Ages and the Aztecs to the French Revolution, the British Empire and even beyond the 21st Century is encapsulated into less than 100 pages and all in cartoon graphic style. By the time you’ve dipped into it you’ll know what year the first European settlers arrived in America and just who was Attilla the Hun and lots lots more.

Reviews
Praise for The Comic Strip History of the World: 'This book is undoubtedly the most original book about history you will ever read ... A truly entertaining way to discover what gruesome deeds our ancestors got up toAnorak Magazine
'An enjoyable romp from the Big Bang to genetic engineering via ancient civilisations, Attila the Hun, plague and revolution ... This little book manages to cram in lots of different topics and is not too Eurocentric'
The School Librarian Praise for The Comic Strip History of Space: This is a deceptively clever book
. Sally Kindberg's comic strip form makes the content accessible and fun ... very entertaining with plenty of jokes
English: Four to eleven magazine
