"""This playful graphic adaptation of historian Cline’s study of the late Bronze Age employs cheerful art by Fawkes (Charlotte Brontë Before Jane Eyre) to bring archaeological scholarship to life. . . . The graphic format allows readers to envision the ancient world, as Fawkes fills the pages with meticulously researched drawings of cities, people, art, food, and fashion. Her loose, colorful picture-book art is welcoming to all ages. This ambitious and detailed visual history rewards multiple readings."" * Publishers Weekly * ""Compelling, a clever mix of fact and ‘fun’, enlivened by F[awkes]’s graphic reimagining of the Bronze Age world.""---David Stuttard, Classics for All ​​​​​​​"
