The history of napoleon Napoleon Bonaparte first published in 1968 is written by L Du Garde Peach and illustrated by John Kenney It tells the story of one of the greatest generals the world has ever known who worked his way from humble origins to become Emperor of France at the age of 35 and who went on to conquer half of Europe His is a legacy that will never be forgotten His story is told here for young readers 0721402291 Cracking illustrations by John Kenney And amused at du Garde Peach s customary strong and partisan verdict on his subject 0721402291 First published in 1968 and then reprinted in a facsimile edition in 2015 so naturally the text is dated but the retro feel of the book and the gorgeous illustrations are wonderful and worth the price of admission The life of Napoleon is most typically covered in weighty tomes with hundreds of pages and so it s a big challenge to represent it in a handful of pages here This is not particularly successful and it was often confusing I think they tried to include too much detail too many battles However I enjoyed learning about the story of how Napoleon and Josephine may have met with the returning of her first husband s sword presented here as fact of course 0721402291
