History Detectives:The Romans - Tapa blanda

The paperback edition of The Romans, part of the History Detective series, is a great fact book with an exciting 16-page mystery adventure at the end. The first 48 pages are packed with interesting details of life in ancient Rome and comes complete with full colour illustrations reconstructing Roman life and photographs of evidence they left behind. Using the facts, children have to solve the crime of who has kidnapped Caesar's son - there are clues to spot, suspects to follow, and questions to be answered.
