“Book Descriptions: The Great Fire of London in 1666, told in rhyme and pictures. The tragic character of Thomas gives a great historical event a human scale and puts a relatable everyday character at the centre of events. The fire is known the world over and studied in all UK primary schools.
However, this is a storybook – the kind you read to children at bedtime for fun. It happens to be a true story from history, but it is not a schoolbook or a study aid.” DRIVE
