What is History for beginners about?
How do we know what really happened in the past? History for Beginners explores how historians investigate evidence, question sources and piece together stories about people, places and events. With comic strips, diagrams and clear explanations, it reveals why different countries may tell the same history in different ways. Readers learn how to spot missing voices, understand why events happened and investigate the history of their own everyday lives.
