Excellent illustrated history of Poland's early days with the younger reader in mind.

The author writes concisely and plainly about the kingdom of Mieszko I, the prince's subjects, life in a medieval city, Romanesque art and the work of craftsmen and tradesmen. The book encourages readers to visit museums in Wiekopolska, where there are many monuments from the times of the first Piasts. The story is enriched with very attractive illustrations on glossy paper.
