Swisstory

Here at last is the true history of Switzerland for clever children and all who have remained children at heart: We learn how dukes were deceitfully slaughtered by peasants and how innocent 'witches' were hanged. It is about buried gold, mountain climbers, and of course about murderous cows. 'Swisstory' does not tell fictional stories of Heidi and William Tell, but Swiss history from the mountain dwellers of yesteryear to women's suffrage. It is wittily illustrated by Swiss artist and edition king Michael Meister ('The Big Monster Book of Switzerland'). 'Swisstory' is outrageous, gripping, gruesome - and entirely true! For children from 9 to 99.
