A photographic section profiles great cities throughout history and a glossary tells you what you need to know about architecture, technology, work, and costumes throughout the ages.

Got this for my grandson. I think I liked it better than he did☺️

I bought “A City Through Time” for a six year old. I was afraid that it was too advanced for his age when I received it, but his mother says it is a hit. 🙂 They go through it a page at a time with him and he soaks it up like a sponge. Great book. An excellent way to introduce a child to the concepts of time and history. The illustrations are fascinating and entertaining…even an adult will learn things here. Probably more suited to an eight or nine year old ideally.

This is the type of book that you can literally spend hours studying the pictures and, without always realising it, absorbing interesting and useful information that could be as dry as dust if it wasn’t presented so attractively. This is a fitting complement to ‘A Street in Time’. A wonderful book.
