Customer Reviews of King John and the Magna Carta (Great Rulers)
The Tyrant and the Great Charter Ladybird history books are social history at it's best, from; I would estimate ages 8 to 14 for school use of simply to enjoy. They bring history alive for children, and are filled with fascinating information. As well as bringing alive an animated, exciting past, they also show how events of the past, are with us today, in so many fascinating ways.
King John and the Magna Carta, written by L Du Garde Peach, and wonderfully illustrated by John Kenney whose pictures really create feeling and bring the events covered alive, documents the reign of King John, who was probably the worst King ever to occupy the throne of England. He tried to deceive everybody and was trusted by none. His reign was disastrous, but it remains one of the most important in the history of the English-speaking people. That is because John was so evil that that the nobles, the church and the common people of England, forced him to affix his seal to the document of liberties known as the Magna Carta, or Great Charter.
This book teaches the importance of the tradition of rights and freedoms, and the evil of tyranny. A legacy of the western experience that is today under threat from different quarters. King John words to the brave Archbishop Langton, when the Priest reminded him of his pledge taken at his coronation to protect the people of the realm: " Mind your church. And leave me to govern the country" Words similar to those raged, 800 years later by the genocidal dictator in Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe.
