STOLEN HISTORY - SATHNAM SANGHERA KARTONIERT (TB)

An accessible  engaging and essential introduction to the British empire for readers aged 9+ 
by bestselling author of Empireland  Sathnam Sanghera. You've probably heard the word 'empire'
before. Perhaps because of the Roman empire. Or maybe even the Star Wars films. But what about
the British Empire? Why don't we learn much about this? And what even is an empire  anyway?
This book will answer all the important questions about Britain's imperial history. It will
explore how Britain's empire once made it the most powerful nation on earth  and how it still
affects our lives in many ways today - from the words we use  to the food we eat  the sports we
play and even to every grown-up's fixation with a good cup of tea. Because how can we ever make
the world a kinder  better place for the future  if we don't know the truth about the past?
I've resisted suggestions that I write a kids' book on empire on the grounds that I didn't want
to sanitise the history. But I think I've found a tone that allows me to be both honest and
entertaining. I'm really excited that kids might soon have access to knowledge about the
British Empire that I only stumbled across at the age of 45. Becoming at ease with this history
is essential to Britain becoming a saner country. - Sathnam Sanghera SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE
WEEK
