Benediction Classics The Story of Mankind (Fully Illustrated in B by Hendrik Van Loon
Hendrik van Loon attempted to write a complete history of mankind for younger readers. It was a great success and won him the first John Newbery medal. Although influenced by his own attitudes and those of his day (it is very Westerncentric) it will still inform and delight a contemporary audience. Please note this is a new edition (not a scan) of the text of the original version but all the charming original illustrations have been included (in black and white).show more
