Jane Lacey was a primary school teacher for ten years before she became a full-time writer of non-fiction books for children between the ages of three and eleven.

This review was produced for English 4-11, the magazine for literacy in the early years and primary classroom. English 4-11 is published by the English Association and the UKLA for their members. Review by Bob Bass. This is a companion volume to that of the Ancient Greeks, reviewed above. The layout is identical. Sample contents and activities include Roman Emperors (a laurel wreath), The Army (an eagle standard), Childhood (a bulla), entertainment (a model chariot), and Gods and Myths (a collage of a god or goddess). Again, an attractive publication for youngsters. -- Bob Bass * English 4-11 *
