duncan II Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Looking for recommendations, if y’all would be so kind, for good introductory books on Scottish history for a seven year old. Good engaging ones. In particular, on the vikings in Scotland, as he is learning some aspect of the vikings at school so would like to put in a Scottish context for him. Also Wallace, as he was introduced briefly to his story at school too. But would be open to buying a whole series of them on other aspects too. Seems to be a lack of options online. Wallace, yeah, but would like to hear any recommendations of any you particularly like. cheers! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 At the start of lockdown I tried to pick up some books to help my wee lad. The History of Scotland For Children by Fiona MacDonald is a decent book. Covers most periods and nicely illustrated. No great depth to it obviously but it’s just about capturing their interest at that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
