Classical Giants brings to life the most famous composers in history, introducing them to children as real characters who lived and breathed on a real historical timeline.

Take children on a journey of discovery to learn, not only what Handel was like as a person, but also what made him tick: what were his struggles and his joys; what were the events that shaped his world; what was important to him, what influenced him and what inspired him to create his greatest masterpieces.

English, Music, History, Art, Maths and Science can be taught through this book making it ideal as the beating heart of an exciting and creative Topic web of learning activities.
