Alexander
the Great Rocks the World
by Vicky
Alvear Shecter
A
real-life hero, Alexander is one of the most powerful and flawed
characters in world history. His successes are legendary, and
even he thought he was more god than man. Written with a fun,
kid-friendly tone, this biography of Alexander the Great gives
all the factual details of his life, from childhood to his
early death at age 32, and discusses the legends associated
with this larger-than-life man. Many historic quotes are included,
from such wise ones as Homer, Aristotle, Plato, and Alexander
himself. Interiors include maps, photos of artifacts, and fun,
Disney-esque illustrations.
