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
