1 About this book

Nehruji has described in simple language the history of civilization. It answers a child's question that where do we come from? Who were our ancestors? How the languages originated? How religion started? How kings and kingdoms came into existence? What were the early civilizations like? It is an interesting book with interesting sketches. A must read for children.

Good for readers who want: ancient history, history, and a short read.
