The Romans: Gods, Emperors, and Dormice - Paperback
by Marcia Williams (Author), Marcia Williams (Illustrator)
"Filled with humor and a bit of attitude . . . will engage even the most reluctant young readers." -- School Library Journal
Meet Dormeo: gladiator, dormouse, berry-nibbler, and guide to ancient Rome. He's about to lead a tour -- from the temperamental gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus to the birth of the Roman Republic and the death of Julius Caesar. On the way are glimpses of life as a Roman citizen, from families to festivals, gladiators to guards, as well as a look at some of Rome's best-known emperors (good and not so good). Packed with fascinating information, this graphic storybook is a young reader's ideal introduction to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.
Marcia Williams has written and illustrated many books in her highly successful and entertaining comic-strip style. Among her many retellings are Ancient Egypt: Tales of Gods and Pharaohs, Greek Myths for Young Children, Tales from Shakespeare, and More Tales from Shakespeare. Marcia Williams lives in London.
