Reviews

For the novice, there could be no better initiation - For students of Hemingway, here is a well-balanced view

—— Daily Express

He can perform prodigies. He can fascinate us by pure evocation, by the tensity of the situation

—— Times Literary Supplement

Hemingway's style, at its best, is a superb vehicle for revealing tenderness of feeling beneath descriptions of brutality

—— The Guardian

"It's a glowing journey through the rainbow. Who knew the secret of why some eyes are blue, and that it's actually an optical illusion! Lavishly illustrated, this book shows us there's so much to find out about our colourful world and how we see it."

—— Mini Grey

For lovers of non-fiction, Dominic Sandbrook's narrative series has been a boon ... This volume is inevitably moving, and an illuminating chronicle of the waste of war.

—— The Times Children's Books of the Year

Stolen History is a truly remarkable achievement: an historically accurate, diligently researched and nuanced account of the British Empire that is also gripping for younger readers. I know of no other writer who could have accomplished such a feat.

—— Professor Alan Lester FRHistS, Professor of Historical Geography and Professor of History, La Trobe University

Sanghera brilliantly demonstrates that history doesn't have to be dumbed down to be made accessible, nor does it need to be sensationalized to seem relevant. Written with integrity and a deep commitment to reveal how the past has shaped our present, the book will make young readers engage with history as more than just entertainment and it will encourage them to ask new questions.

—— Kim A. Wagner, Professor of Global and Imperial History, School of History Queen Mary, University of London
