This book examines the life and reign of Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, the most famous European ruler of the Middle Ages. He conquered much of western Europe and united it under one great empire.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Although the book was written for middle-schoolers, most Americans can't give a single fact about Charlemagne. His story is told in an engaging style with language appropriate for adults. Several maps and illustrations help keep track of events. It serves as a perfect introduction to Mr. Sypeck's next book, due later this year, "Becoming Charlemagne."
