"Like Platt’s previous ‘diaries’ about castles, pirates, and ancient Egypt, this offers an accessible introduction to history." — Booklist Iliona never imagined that her sea voyage from Greece to Egypt would lead to Rome, but when she is captured by pirates and auctioned off as a slave, that’s where she lands. Readers are invited to view the wonders of Rome through Iliona’s eyes—the luxury, the excess, and the politics. Back matter includes notes for the reader, a glossary, and sources.

Electa Rome Parks paints a powerful portrait of a crazed fan who can't seem to close the book on the affair after a one-night-stand with a famous author—and who will stop at nothing to make him hers. Even if that means killing him. . . Bestselling author Xavier Preston is used to women throwing themselves at him. On top of being a successful writer, he's also tall, dark and sexy as sin. He's always relished the attention, in fact, and is ever-willing to entertain the erotic urges of women wanting to get between more than the covers of his novels. Except once he meets Kendall, he decides it's time to put his womanizing ways behind him and devote himself to her entirely. Well, almost. . . Gorgeous Pilar is the last decadent treat Xavier decides he'll help himself to—thinking they are both on the same "no strings" page. Except behind Pilar's fine façade beats the heart of a raving maniac—a fatally attracted fan addicted to the kind of hot loving only Xavier can give her. And she's not about to let him get away from her so easily. So what starts out as a discreet dalliance soon spirals into a deadly game of obsession and pain—which can only have one winner. . .

This volume, then, contains my part of the record of what happened when the late Pope, Leo XIII, opened up to fresh investigation the old question of the English ordinations. A narrative newly written might have some advantage of form; but there is more safety in the mere production of what was written at the time. The collection is not quite chaotic, for it has a nucleus in the diary which I kept during the two months of active work at Rome. This Diary is printed just as it was written for it is produced as evidence. - From the Preface

This lively black and white series aims to make history into an interesting read. Each title is the chatty personal diary of a teenager, set against the background of a specific historical time. The books include details of daily life, relations with family and friends, jokes and humorous events, doubts, hopes and dreams. The storyline of each book employs interesting historical facts designed to give an understanding of the period in line with the National Curriculum; the diary format supports the National Literacy Strategy. To add variety to the mixture there are extras: a recipe, shopping list, sketched map or the sort of ephemera, lists and notes that young people might add to their own private diaries. The black and white illustrations make characters and events come alive and add historical detail. History Diaries build on the success of accessible, humorous history in this format, but takes the genre in a new and appealing direction.
