The Thrifty Guide to Ancient Rome: A Handbook for Time Travelers

(3) 4-6 Thrifty Guides series. Illustrated by David Sossella. These tongue-in-cheek travel guides to Ancient Greece and Rome provide lots of historical information while incorporating plentiful humor, and cartoony illustrations add to the effect. As the jokey narratives cover important aspects of these civilizations, inserts suggest people and places to see during your "trip." Yes, the time-travel conceit is gimmicky, but it makes for entertaining reading. Bib. Review covers these Thrifty Guides titles: The Thrifty Guide to Ancient Greece and The Thrifty Guide to Ancient Rome.
