This series introduces readers to significant periods of British history from a child’s viewpoint. It introduces general features of each time period, but focuses on what life was like for the children, including where they lived, what they learned at school, and where they worked. The text is supported by primary source material (paintings, artefacts, quotes, etc.) that brings the past to life. A final section explains how we use historical evidence to reconstruct the past.

Why should I buy these books?• A rich variety of images will engage the

reader • Daily life seen from a child’s perspective.

Each book shows how we know about the people and their experiences from primary and other sources. It includes information on some historical detective work that has taken place, using documentary, archaeological, and oral evidence, that has enabled historians to piece together fascinating stories, from the escape of slaves on the Underground Railroad to the epic journeys of exploration by lunar astronauts.

TAKING ACTIONMost schools in the South remained segregated after Brown v. Board of

Education because forcing change through legal cases was slow. From

the mid-1950s onwards, more and more civil rights protestors took direct

action to try to speed up change. Direct action is when people carry out

public acts that disrupt or break the law in order to raise awareness of an

issue. Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat to a white woman on a public

bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955 was an early example. The NAACP

planned this action, and used Rosa’s arrest to spark a boycott of city

buses. After 13 months of lost business and bad publicity, the state made

segregation illegal on its buses.

Other famous examples of taking action for civil rights in the 1950s include

the Little Rock Nine. Nine black children, including Melba Pattillo, tried to

attend a white-only school in 1957. The resulting violence and protests

from people against segregation led to the US government stepping in to

force the governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus, to desegregate its schools.

Watch an interview with Governor Faubus in which he explains why he

prevented the Little Rock Nine going to school: www.hrc.utexas.edu/

multimedia/video/2008/wallace/faubus_orval.html.

Fifteen-year-old Elizabeth Eckford (in sunglasses) walks past angry white students during the Little Rock Nine action.

ORVAL FAUBUS1910–1994

BORN: Combs, Arkansas

ROLE: Governor of Arkansas from 1954 to 1967. In 1957, he ordered the National Guard to stop black children going to Little Rock High School to keep law and order. US President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered government troops in to protect the Little Rock Nine so they could attend school.

Did You Know?Faubus ended segregation in Arkansas on state public transport when first elected governor.

WHO IN HISTORY

DANGERIt is difficult to imagine now how strongly some white people felt about civil

rights campaigners in the 1950s. Many were members of groups such as

the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). The KKK was a terrorist organization whose actions

included firebombing homes and churches, and lynching. Lynching

involved a mob seizing, beating, and usually violently killing people. In

1957, for example, the KKK offered a $10,000 reward to anyone who killed

one of the Little Rock Nine.

HISTORY DETECTIVES: sourcesDiaries, interviews, autobiographies, and photos are primary sources, or records of events created at the time under study. Secondary sources are interpretations and analyses of primary sources. They are usually created by people who weren’t there at the time. Examples include books, biographies, and films. Secondary sources can provide good overviews to direct research, but a range of primary sources can add details and bring the past to life.

!"##$%&'Nasreddin Hodja, is Turkey’s, and perhaps Islam’s, best-known trickster. His legendary wit and droll trickery are said to be based on the exploits and words of a 13th century Imam. Over 350 anecdotes have been attributed to him. Nasreddin Hodja stories were spread by word of mouth. Today, these stories are told over a vast geographic area extending from East Turkmenistan to Hungary and from Southern Siberia to North Africa and have been translated into many languages. This title contains a selection of his best-known stories including tales about how Hodja deals with his wife’s hot soup, a thirsty village and a thief in the night. Nasreddin Hodja is a wise man. But he does things quite differently. Is he riding his donkey seated back-to-front? Then he wants you to believe that it’s the donkey that’s walking backwards. And thus Nasreddin Hodja finds a solution to every problem.

KEY SALES POINTS • Well known stories from around the world, re-

told in easy-to-read English

• Bold illustrations, rich in colour and packed with traditional designs from the Middle East.

• For the first time these tales have been published in an easy to read format
