Rob studied Egyptology at university, but never thought he'd do much with it. Since joining Usborne in 2005, he's written loads of books about Ancient Egypt, and on topics ranging from space to the story of Islam. He is also the author of several award-winning historical adventure novels, and a hopeless cook.
A journey through London's history from Roman times to the present
day, this book provides fantastic opportunities for developing
children's speaking and thinking skills. The book brings home, in a
very simple way, how architecture and daily life have changed over
the centuries. It is also sturdy and well-made so would withstand
the ravages of life in the classroom or school library.

For younger readers there are lots of intriguing flaps and
historical spreads in Usborneās Look Inside London.
