(12 reviews)

The Great Lives in Graphics series is a perfect graphic novel series for all visual readers who enjoy learning fun facts from the past and the lives of people who have changed history. We recommend these books for children aged 9+, though they can be enjoyed by younger ones too.

From the lives of Coco Chanel and Cleopatra to Mozart and Leonardo Da Vinci, these full-colour graphic novels tell the incredible stories of extraordinary people, presenting over 250 biographical facts for each one. The books are all packed with infographics, timelines, maps, motifs and extra illustrations to bring historical figures and the time they lived in to life on the page. Because the books are so visual, they are perfect for reluctant readers or study time.
