A magnificent 12,000-year walk through history.

Introduction

Have you ever wondered what your street was like hundreds and hundreds of years ago? In this book you can follow the life of one such street. You will see it develop from a small Stone Age camp - changing over thousands of years - into a bustling riverside thoroughfare in the heart of a metropolis.

• Beautifully illustrated pages bring fourteen key periods in history to life.
• Search for the time traveller in each period, find out how people lived long ago - the tools they used, what they wore, what they ate, and what they did all day.
• The lively text provides a fascinating and factual insight to the pictorial story, and also suggests lots of hidden details to spot.

See magnificent buildings go up and come down, new churches built on the site of ancient temples, wooden bridges destroyed and then remade in stone, and statues demolished, then unearthed many years later. But incredibly, some buildings do survive and remain centuries later in the heart of a modern city.

A Street Through Time is crammed with details of life in the past. The more you look, the more you'll see.

Review by: Alice Overton, 09 August 2008

'A Street Through Time is a great book full of exiting pictures. The more you look at the pictures the more you find out. The book is great for all ages. I love looking out for the accident prone man, it is very interactive. As a child myself I like small paragraphs and simple words - this book is great for that. It is fun seeing how much people have changed over the years.'
