Susie in SWVA Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I am looking for a good biography of Peter the Great. The ones I am finding that look good are 600 - 1000 pages long, which I don't mind, but I think my ds 15 might revolt! Has anyone read or can recommend a good biography? I would really appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this as an adult and found it super interesting. It is long, but it didn't seem to bother me. (Then again I don't mind long stories.)

Susie in SWVA Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I went with your recommendation, Vettechmomof2 and bugs. I started reading it myself last night and I think my son will enjoy it. He said he didn't mind the length! I have put together a course for him - Russian history, language and culture. This is a particular interest of his since he was adopted from Russia, Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
