However, the part I really love is the list of references included in the back of the books PLUS a full set of footnotes and artistic sources on Chan's website. The storytelling is well-researched and presented for kids aged 10 years and over, with great detail into the sociological environment at the time. An excellent starting point for younger kids looking at specific historical figures." </em></p><p>Bookriot.com</p><br>
