About the Books This entertaining collection takes young readers on a whistle-stop tour of three great civilisations. In A Kid's Life in Ancient Egypt , children discover the gritty reality behind the pyramids, from dodging Deathstalker scorpions and hauling water from wells to eating roast hedgehog and getting the stocks for misbehaving at school. A Kid's Life in Ancient Rome , developed in consultation with experts from the British Museum, reveals the odd realities of Roman daily life, including washing clothes in urine, snacking on dormice and the brutal world of gladiatorial combat.
