Reviews

Chris Miles’s book is a fascinating mix of history, biography, science, social studies and good ol’ fashioned general knowledge. It’s a book for all ages.

— The Big Issue

Could well prove invaluable for primary school projects across the nation.... well researched and with just the right amount of detail, this book sketches biographical outlines of the Renaissance men and women that grace our currency, from the ‘father of federation’ Sir Henry Parkes to the pioneering opera singer Dame Nellie Melba

— Reading Time

...an attractive scrapbook style format, with cartoons, photos and mini facts to entertain wandering minds

— Bookseller+Publisher

...accurate and informative... well worth adding to the collection
