Following on from international bestsellers Rome and Egypt, Stephen Biesty brings his magic touch to the cradle of civilization-- classical Greece. The year is 436 BCE and 11-year-old Neleus is about to embark on the journey of a lifetime to the great games at Olympia. An illustrated tour-de-force, Greece features a stunning array of cross-sections, cutaways and explosions. Biesty's terrific eye for the quirky details of daily life combines with a witty and engaging text to provide an unforgettable window into the world of ancient Greece.
