About this deal

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Sprague de Camp (1941), about a history professor who goes back in time and tries to prevent the fall of Rome. A su favor, lo comentado, un último tercio repleto de acción y con mucho ritmo que hará las delicias de aquellos que gusten de una batalla bien narrada.

Autorul se foloseste de povestea lui Henry Tandey, celebrul "soldat care nu l-a impuscat pe Hitler" pentru a construi o poveste despre curaj, modestie, dar si despre cruda realitate a razboiului. This story has a nice element of making a moral decision with dire consequences - it would make a good discussion point the classroom. That's not to say it's all doom and gloom as there is plenty of humour and the overall quality of the writing is something very special and very rare. Billy realised that had he killed him, he would have prevented another war, and he is determined to make amends for this mistake. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.I loved hearing the conflicts that Billy was having and the way that his thoughts and actions were described was absolutely phenomenal. How one person can stop WW2, because he has a chance to kill Hitler if I was that person I would be really scared but happy because I am helping everybody imagine how much respect you would get for that. After the crossing of the Rhine by a mixed group of Barbarians that included Vandals, Alans, and Suebi, Maximus gains an unlikely ally in Goar, who led a band of Alans into Gaul and then quickly joined the Romans. For younger bookworms – and nostalgic older ones too – there’s the Slightly Foxed Cubs series, in which we’ve reissued a number of classic nature and historical novels. The story is that of a middle-aged Roman commander (in fact born in Britannia) of a cohort of auxiliaries on Hadrian's Wall who is put in charge by Stilicho, generalissimo of the West, of raising, training and leading of a whole legion.

Possibly for heightened dramatic effect, the author blended the forced suicide of Martinus, Vicarius of Britannia, with those of Arria and Paetus, all three of them historical figures. This follows the story of five women, who all have ties to Camp Firelight, a summer camp for girls of all ages.This book is historical fiction, but there is information at the end of the book about the real people in the story and who the story was loosely based on. An Eagle in the snow by Micheal Morpurgo is definitely the book to read if you're interested in world war books (like me !

It’s got that perfect sort of writing that immediately draws you into both the setting of the storyworld and the mind of the main character. Sitting in the darkness, a stranger in their cabin offers to tell the true story of a highly decorated World War I soldier, who had a chance to kill a young Adolf Hitler - but let him go. A former Children's Laureate, Michael is also the co-founder, with his wife Clare, of the charity Farms for City Children.That was the ending Billy(that is the name of the character based on Henry tandey) wanted, the ending we all wanted.

This short but immersive novel has some classic illustrations from Michael Foreman, which could help get this book into the hands of some reluctant readers. Anyway, whatever quibbles about this book's "age" and historical accuracy, this is a MUST read for all fans of the Roman Empire and, more generally, all fans of historical fiction. Ex Library, wear to edges and corners of dustjacket, edges creased and worn, pieces missing at top and bottom of spine, surface worn and grubby, underjacket in good condition, some wear to edges and corners, corners a little bumped, top and bottom of spine bumped and worn, small rip at base of spine join with cover 2 cm, internally in reasonable condition, some wear to edges and corners, library stickers and stamps on first few pages.Written for middle primary school children it is a fascinating story about the soldier who didn't shoot Hilter at the end of WWI. Inside the book is great because it has lots of twists and turns in the throughout it which makes it really exciting. Je vais essayer de le lire en français maintenant, pour voir si ça rend aussi bien et si j’ai tout compris !
