Take a journey to a vanished world with the ADVENTURES IN TIME* series - stories so exciting you won't believe they're all true

'Everything was ready. The air was thick with excitement. This was D-Day...'

Prepare to enter the most dramatic conflict the world has ever seen, as historian Dominic Sandbrook takes us on a spine-tingling, heart-stopping adventure. We witness the Second World War first-hand through the eyes of ordinary people living in extraordinary times, from the women who worked all night in factories to the chess players who cracked unbreakable codes. Because in total war, no life is left untouched...

The Adventures in Time series brings the past alive for twenty-first century children. These stories are every bit as exciting as those of Harry Potter or Matilda Wormwood. The only difference is they actually happened...

*(Perfect for all readers who enjoy tales of heroes, villains, battles, escapes, codebreakers and a secret agent known as the Hedgehog)

Critic reviews

Few plots can rival the real-life dramas played out in the superb Adventures in Time series by the historian Dominic Sandbrook, one of the most exciting new voices in children's non-fiction.

History and fiction meld in a spectacular new series retelling thrilling tales from past eras, all with the benefit of the latest research.

Brimming with facts and rich in detail ... the brio of the accounts sweep children along on the adventure and introduce them to the way in which history shapes our modern world.

Most relevant

I must firstly say I am a fan of Domonic. That being said this is is a potted history of the war. it can be no other at only 8 hours long. But he touches on very personal stories of the war. taking some liberties of dialogue and how people felt. But all said with great humility and cander. He covers a the wars, both European and Eastern and the reasons for the start of each. If you want an enjoyable and interesting this is for you.
