History's Most Epic Fibs explores the white lies and outright whoppers that have shaped historical narratives, challenging what we think we know. Athena Kugblenu, known for her work on Horrible Histories, uncovers the truth behind legendary figures and events, from the real story of Cleopatra to misconceptions about Vikings and the ""discovery"" of new lands. With engaging illustrations, this book encourages young readers to question historical accounts and separate fact from fiction. It's a good book to read in a world of fake news and political demagogues. -- Tom Tolkein * School Reading List *
