'Usbourne Famous Lives retell the stories of fascinating people, bringing them to life so vividly, it's as if you're there..' (4/4 people found this helpful)

Strong board cover, vividly illustrated, opens to 64 high quality pages, split into 8 main chapters:-

Going to sea
A royal request
The first voyage
Land ahoy!
Triumphant return
The battle for Hispaniola
Fall from glory
The final voyage

culminating with a useful and well-summarised 2-page timeline, entitled, `My life at sea'.
Also includes three maps:-
The route of the first voyage : 1492-1493
The route of the third voyage : 1498-1500

Charming colour illustrations throughout, some in cartoon format, this series of books should prove to double up as a useful `quick reference`, when needed.
