The Spanish Armada by Gillian Clements
Great Events: The Spanish Armada looks at the events which culminated in the defeat of the great fleet of Philip II of Spain in 1588 by the English Navy, under Sir Francis Drake. Gillian Clements tells the story through a lively combination of text and illustration (including some speech bubbles, labelled maps etc). In this way she makes history child-friendly and accessible but still manages to incorporate, wherever possible, primary source material (such as eyewitness accounts and documentary evidence).
Gillian Clements is an established author-illustrator with a particular reputation for illustrated non-fiction. Her books include The Illustrated History of the World and The Truth About Castles. She studied illustration at Brighton and lives in Herefordshire.
