Travel back in time to learn about history's most courageous warriors! Readers can experience the life and times of fearsome Vikings, honour-bound Samurai, stealthy ninjas and chivalrous knights. With riveting, full-colour graphic novel stories of famous historical warriors, readers will get an in-depth look at each warrior class's time and culture, as well as learning key details about the warriors' armour, weapons, skills and missions.
When one thinks about the Vikings, usually images of savage fighters arriving in longships to raid villages come to mind. But the Vikings weren't just violent invaders trying to steal treasure. These Norse warriors were also master sailors and explorers looking for new lands to farm and colonise. Dynamic illustrations and entertaining tales of famous Viking warriors teach readers about the lives and goals of these fierce Scandinavian raiders.
Mention 'Medieval Knights' and people may think of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. But these warriors weren't just heroes from fables and legend. They were real men who strapped themselves into heavy armour and bravely charged into battle. Dynamic illustrations and engaging tales of famous knights teach readers what life was like as an elite armoured warrior in Medieval Europe.
Samurai warriors are often thought of as stoic loners who wandered the land helping poor villagers fight against their oppressors. However, although a few Samurai worked alone, most of them considered it dishonourable. These highly-skilled warriors usually served a noble lord, and they fought fiercely to protect their master's lands. Dynamic illustrations and fascinating tales of famous Samurai teach readers what life was like as a noble servant-warrior in feudal Japan.
When thinking about Ninjas, people often picture deadly killers wearing black clothing. However, while ninjas could be fierce and skilled warriors, they weren't just assassins who crept around in the dark. They more often worked as spies and secret agents who gathered intelligence and information on enemy clans. Dynamic illustrations and engaging tales of ninja warriors teach readers what it was like to be a stealthy secret agent in Medieval Japan.
