Great Events: Great Fire Of London

Gillian Clements, Author

In 1666 London is burning – a great fire sweeps through the city, destroying many buildings. Discover how the fire came about and read about its consequences. There are some moments in history that are so dramatic or important that people remember them forever.

In words and pictures, Gillian Clements tells the stories of these Great Events. These books are perfect for the emerging independent reader at upper Key Stage 1. Designed to encourage a sense of history, not just give the facts. Simple narrative text and lively, informative line illustrations.
