A world of wonders awaits children in this book! From the Palace of Versailles to Mount Rushmore, it presents some of history's greatest monuments, along with their location, size, and fun facts and features. Each one is marvelously illustrated, and introduced by a character connected to its legend--including Antoni Gaudi, designer of the Sagrada Familia church, and Jane Percy, Duchess of Northumberland, whose family lives in Alnwick Castle, where scenes from the Harry Potter movies were filmed.
