This beautiful children's book retells the stories of the ancient
world and brings history to life. Herodotus wrote the first history
book in the world. That is why he is sometimes called the 'Father
of History'. He lived about 2,500 years ago, and was born at a
place called Halicarnassus in Asia Minor. Here, his stories are
retold so that future generations can benefit from their wisdom and
cultural richness. Herodotus was a keen traveller who went all over
the ancient world and was interested in everything he saw and
heard. When he came back from his travels he went to Athens in
Greece and gave lectures about the places he had visited. Finally
he decided to write a book about them. In the later part of his
life he went to Italy where he did more work on his book and
finally died there in 425 BC. King Leonidas of Sparta and the
Battle of Thermopylae, made famous by the blockbuster movie 300,
began with Herodotus' stories. Retold to be accessible for
children, these stories will delight readers of all ages. This book
is appropriate to support the curriculum of Key Stage 2.
