‘The Young Alexander is popular history at its very best, thought-provoking and accessibleUnderpinned by serious research, and written with panache, it summons up a vanished world.’
Sunday Telegraph, FIVE STARS

‘As a colourful and learned evocation of the great conqueror’s shaping boyhood it’s a wonderful read’
Daily Mail

‘Lively … Alex Rowson has produced an absorbing re-creation of the early years’
The Times

‘Securely anchored to archaeological sites – so evocatively described I was tempted to pack my bag and grab my passport on more than one occasion – and suffused with well-researched historical detail. There is no reason why history cannot double as entertainment, in fact there’s an argument to be had that it should. Rowson achieves this in spades’
