"The target subject this time around--a typical Victorian--becomes accessible through multiple examples of daily life as experienced in all sectors of society. The ample historical and social context is effectively supported by multiple richly detailed illustrations. The book ends with open-ended questions to encourage thoughtful reflection. Despite the noticeable British influence, this makes a worthy addition for most collections." - Booklist "Explore Victorian foods, fashions, jobs and education. You can even take a look at a Victorian prison! Most striking is the way in which the divide between rich and poor was so stark and that is very much brought home to life in this fascinating book" - Armadillo magazine "Through engaging storytelling and vibrant illustrations historical facts of the period are brought to life. The books also feature hands-on activities, including crafts and recipes, to encourage interactive learning. Timelines highlights key events and laws that shaped the era.

wonderful classroom resources for teachers and homeschooling families or fun illustrated history books to read at home." - @mammy_gittins.
