Overview
Take young history fans on a journey through the ages with the Usborne Beginners History 10 Books Collection Set. From Stone Age tools to the mysteries of archaeology in Digging Up the Past, this bright, sturdy hardback set breaks big historical topics into short, friendly chapters. Perfect for children starting to explore non-fiction, it turns classroom topics into exciting home reading and curiosity about the civilisations that shaped our world.
About the Books
Each of the ten Usborne Beginners titles follows the same trusted formula: simple, engaging text paired with colourful illustrations, maps and helpful diagrams that make history click for early readers. Stone Age and Iron Age explore how our ancestors hunted, farmed and built early settlements, while Celts and Romans reveal the daily lives and conflicts of ancient Britain and its invaders. Egyptians uncovers pyramids, pharaohs and mummies, and Ancient Greeks introduces the philosophers and everyday life of a civilisation that shaped modern thinking. Vikings takes readers aboard longships to discover Norse homes, feasts and gods, while The Maya reveals the temples and cities of a remarkable ancient civilisation. Castles explains how these fortresses were built and defended, and Digging Up the Past rounds off the set with a look at archaeology itself — how experts uncover and interpret clues from the past. Together, the ten hardback books form a well-rounded introduction to world history, ideal for supporting Key Stage 1 topics or simply feeding curiosity about the past. Short sections, clear headings and bite-sized facts make these books well suited to children reading independently for the first time, as well as being ideal for reading aloud together.
