Summary |
Join two children as they journey through the history of Southeast Asia - the fascinating lands linked to each other and Australia by the seas and monsoon winds. Share with them the discovery of a world filled with traders, adventurers and conquerors, the struggles for independence they witness, and the exciting arrival of the new millennium with its hopes and challenges. This is a story that started 200,000,000 years ago - a history that includes all of us. Written by former Australian Children's Laureate Jackie French and social historian Emeritus Professor Virginia Hooker, this fascinating book has been exquisitely illustrated by award-winning artist Mark Wilson. A beautifully illustrated book that will engage both children and adults alike and provides insights into the intriguing region of Southeast Asia. |
