\nISBN: 978-1-54580-633-3 (HB)<\/p>\n

Here’s the first instalment of a superb European export designed to make history even more compelling for kids. Originally edited by the fabulous Lewis Trondheim and Fr\u00c3\u00a9d\u00c3\u00a9ric Niffle, Le Fil de l’Histoire<\/em><\/strong> is a series of handy introductions to pertinent periods starring an all-wise older sister and her little brother who visit key moments and learn lots.<\/p>\n

This kiddies’ hand-sized hardback tome was originally Tome 2: La Pyramide de Kh\u00c3\u00a9ops<\/em><\/strong>, and sees Annie<\/em> turn young Nico<\/em>‘s Lego-building triumph into an immersive teaching moment, whisking them back to see the great Pyramid in all its glory, detailing how and why it was built and conducting a tour of the interior most Egyptologists would give their last scarab cartouche for\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Responsible adults are author\/educator\/newspaper columnist and Doctor of History Fabrice Erre while illustration honours go to diligent comics pro Sylvain Savoia, who will be further entertaining later this month when I review his magnificent Marzi<\/strong> series. Trust me, you can’t wait\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Today’s treat also offers building techniques, comparisons of other mastabas, mausoleums and tombs and traces the history of the magnificent edifice through the centuries. Herodotus<\/em>‘ misreading of facts, the Caliph of Baghdad’s brutal desecration of the site, tomb robbers, Napoleon<\/em>‘s obsession and others interactions are all covered as well as a peek into possible future of the site.<\/p>\n

Adding extra value are biographies of Imhotep<\/em>, Cheops<\/em>, Hemiunu<\/em>, Herodotus<\/em>, plans of the Giza Plateau<\/em>, the Six Other Wonders of the World<\/em> (now lost) and a comprehensive Timeline<\/em>.<\/p>\n

History is fun and comics are great. This book is both. Add it to your shelves and brace yourself for the chronicles to follow.
