Pompeii

“The range and wealth of information here offer an insight into the potential of scholarship that is rare in books for young people.”–Kirkus Reviews
“Full-color photographs and illustrations and detailed sketches grace every page…. Particularly striking are the full-page cutaways of buildings…. This is as complete and thorough a documentation of the story of Pompeii as any that can be currently found in children’s collections.”–School Library Journal
“Superb illustrations, combined with a sparse text that packs an enormous amount of scholarly information, presented in a way that is understandable and accessible… For the YA reader interested in what has actually been discovered there, and how those discoveries illustrate the daily life of Romans, this book is probably the best place to begin.”–Kliatt
“The carefully researched text is effectively extended by the many maps, drawings, and photographs in this book. Like the other books in Oxford’s Rebuilding the Past series, Pompeii is an excellent resource.”–
