Encounters with the Past

Imagine walking through a door and encountering an ancient Roman, a pirate, or even a Viking. Just a few minutes of conversation with them would reveal so much valuable information. This imaginative series follows this intriguing format. Each book is written as a second-person narrative, transporting readers to another time and place. Characters from all walks of life are introduced, giving readers multiple perspectives about cultures and time periods.
