Books about the Romans / Great Fire of London / Napoleon / Nelson

[CruCru]

Hi all

My son has been asking about all these things and I wondered if any of you could recommend any books about them? He is six and is a pretty able reader but is likely to be put off a heavy tome.

I have seen the other thread which mentioned Through the Fire and we have the Usborne Time Traveller omnibus (which includes a section on the Romans) and a few of the Asterix comics. Is there anything else we should look at?

Jeremy Strong has a Romans fiction series
The Prince in the Crystal Palace

Cool, I’ll check these out - thanks!

Time Hunters series should be about right.

I'd go for Horrible Histories too, both my boys loved them.
