This title forms part of the history series which has been checked and revised by a remedial specialist to meet the needs of less able pupils. Presentation, language and activities have all been structured both to satisfy National Curriculum requirements, and to be accessible to those students for whom the majority of NC materials are dense and intimidating. Steve Buxton is also the author of The Invaders and Medieval Times, both part of the Action History series, and co-author of Castles and Cathedrals.
