The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Bettany Hughes

adventurous informative relaxing slow-paced

4.0

Bethany Hughes’ "The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World" was like a time-traveling adventure, mixing cool historical facts with personal perspective. She doesn’t just talk about the pyramids or the magical Hanging Gardens—she paints a picture of the people who lived back then, too. She dives deep into the cultures that built these wonders (which I loved). My personal favorite part was this song found near one of the sites that reads, “while you live, shine, have no grief at all”— I love this! Even though this book is packed with historical facts, it’s actually a blast for anyone who loves a good story, whether you’re a hardcore history buff or just curious about the past. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC!
