Did you ever read about history and imagine yourself there? In the middle of a battle or perhaps with Colombus as he sails on his voyage of discovery? History gives us an insight into how we got here today. History defines how we live and in most cases stops us making the same mistakes again. BUT! ..... History can traditionally be seen as boring! So imagine if you could live through that history! How much more exciting would it be to be there in person! Olly of the Ages is a series of adventures through history of a young boy named Olly aged 10 from a sleepy little town in Lancashire in England. In "The Norman Spy!" you will find out how how he gets into his adventure through the help of a magic coin and how he helps a young boy escape the dungeon of York Castle whilst meeting King Harold and warning him of an impending invasion! For any parent who wants to get their children into history whilst having fun, Olly of the Ages is a must read. This book is the first in a series of books spanning eons of time and history! Fun but filled with some facts on each of the chosen topics, this light hearted look at history will give your child an interest in learning more about each subject and hopefully help them in their school work. If you liked this book then look out for his next adventure "Olly of the Ages - The Mummys Tomb!"
