We really enjoy the D'Aulaire books. They are beautifully illustrated and are full of information. A good biography of a very interesting character.

An illustrated biography of Pocahontas. One warning for sensitive readers: Some men are killed in their sleep, early in the story.

Just like with the Abe Lincoln biography there are lovely illustrations of essentially American animals, e.g., raccoons. Pocahontas's people live in houses made of bark, and Pocahontas is free to do all the things.This is why I loved the book as a child, probably. The lithographs are outstanding!

But I'm so perplexed by the fact that the Queen of England does the inviting and yet there is also a King of England. When did Pocahontas end up in England? During whose reign? I'm not going to look this up on Wikipedia, on principle. Maybe there's another book out there? I bet there is! Show Less
