Brave attempt at history
The two volumes are written in a modern and relaxed style with plenty of action and dialogue. Characters such as Polycarp, Origen, Boniface and John Wyclif leap out of the pages. They are a brave attempt to introduce church history to a wider readership and are aimed at children aged 9-14.
