Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
A charmingly funny and very interesting history book for kids, Farman makes his history fast paced and realistic. Cutting off the gloss that most children's books put on when dealing with such romantic characters has highwaymen, the book is still humorous and informative. Where else would you learn about the highwayman who robbed his victims naked? Where else would you find out about the glamorous highwayman who made the ladies swoon until his untimely young death? Who else would tell you about the less than charming ways that highwaymen dealt with their quarry? This book has all the answers that an aspiring young historian would want.
