As the French Revolution is one of my primary interests, I had to pick up this book when I saw it in my local used bookstore.

This book is completely adorable. Humorous pictures and cartoons are interspersed with a (fairly) accurate textual account of the French Revolution. Although it looks very much like a children's book in appearance, the information that it supplies would probably be more interesting to a high school or university student.

I would primarily recommend this book to those first learning about the Revolution. However, the amusing pictures and humorous tone also make it a lark for those tired of the dryer texts. ( )
