Can anyone point me in the direction of a thread or website in which someone has detailed favorite resources (books) to use with SOTW1? I'm trying to get a handle on next year, and I'd like to have some of the groundwork done for me! :001_smile:

I can tell you what DS liked if that will help. I don't remember which specific chapter they applied to but:

 

Black Ships Before Troy by Sutcliff

Alexander the Great by Langley

Esther's Story by Wolkstein

The Flying Horse: The story of Pegasus by Mason (IR)

King Midas and the Golden Touch by Craft

Dragon Prince by Yep

The Empty Pot by Demi (IR)

The Great Wall by Mann (and most of her other books too... we just read this one today)

The Buddha: the story of Siddhartha by Grubin

Tutankhamen's Gift by Sabuda

 

The You Wouldn't Want to Be Series... wherever they applied

Any of the DK series are nice for reference and visuals ... as are the Usborne books

 

I'm sure there were more he liked but those I know he enjoyed.

 

I forgot :

Rimonah and the Flashing Sword

Temple Cat

Exodus by Wildsmith

Minotaur and the Hero

Mr Semolina-Semolinus
