Title: Fun intro to history
Product review: As a kid in Phoenix, AZ, I found Geoffrey Trease's books in the public library. After the first one, I devoured the rest. Up to that time I always said I didn't like history [classes, in school]. But after reading Trease's books, I became interested & tried Meader, and others.We moved away, & I lost the author & titles. But recently I went hunting. My favorite Trease books were the ones about Shakespeare (Cue for Treason), and his pair on Garibaldi. With neither author nor titles, I've had to hunt hard, & read a lot of children's books. But when I found Cue for Treason, I knew I'd found the right one. After 30 years, I still remember the story well [that right there tells you it's a good book!].Trease was a good historian [even if his political views were off :) ]. Better yet, he makes history come alive. Look for ALL of his fiction. Wait - ignore that: wait until I have a complete collection, THEN look for them!
