Tarquin Pop-ups are a special kind of 'do it yourself' activity book. Not only is there the fun of making the scenes and seeing them pop-up but they are full of interesting information and ideas. Each book contains six main scenes to make and there are a number of mini pop-ups as well. Close the book and they fold away. Open it and they pop-up again. These vivid, colourful three-dimensional scenes help to bring Ancient Civilisations to life in a way which no other kind of book can and 'London' and 'Paris' make fine souvenirs for visits already made or perhaps planned for the future. | |

Cavaliers & Roundheads The English Civil War, which broke out in 1642, divided counties, towns, even friends and families as the nation pledged its allegiance either to the King or to Parliament. "How I detest this war without an enemy", wrote one of the Roundhead generals to his friend, now commander of the opposing Cavalier army. This book tells the story of the struggle by focussing on key dramatic events. We see, for instance, King Charles come in person to the House of Commons to arrest his enemies, the crucial battles of Lansdown Hill and Marston Moor, the eventual victory of the Roundheads under Oliver Cromwell and the execution of the King in 1649. It was a time of betrayal and intrigue, fighting and bloodshed, but it was also a time which laid the foundations of British parliamentary democracy. £3.95 |  | |||
