An Excellent Book and Author

SOMEONE, PLEASE REPRINT THIS BOOK!!!! This is a wonderful retelling of a fascinating period in history. The writer was immersed in the study of this time period, as evidenced by her works. The writing is engaging and this is the best account of the Persian Wars for children, grades 4-9 or so. It surpasses Alfred Church's book, The Story of the Persian War.

A Lion's View

The book is difficult to find, but this vendor had it and delivered it sooner than expected. I will buy from them again.

Persian Invasion of Greece

An enthralling story, it tells of the crossing of the Hellespont by Xerxes' army and the battles fought against the invaders by the courageous Greeks; Pheidippides marathon run from Athens to Sparta and the heroic stand at Thermopylae by a handful of Spartans. The rich, detailed background of vengeful gods and venerable seers gives this brilliant version of the ancient myth a living realism.
