This gripping account of the perils of the French Revolution is based on the true story of Grace Elliott, a Scotswoman who lived through the terrors and survived to tell the tale. As the revolution breaks out in France, angry peasants roam the countryside, burning castles and killing aristocrats. If the mob don't get you, the guillotine will. The humorous cartoon-style illustrations and the narrative approach encourages readers to get emotionally involved with the characters, aiding their understanding of what life would have been like in the French Revolution. Informative captions, a complete glossary and an index make this title and ideal introduction to the conventions of non-fiction texts for young readers. This title fits into Key Stage 2 History and helps achieve the goals of the Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14.
