Jacob Abbott was one of the famous authors in the Abbott family during the 19th century, which also included his historian brother John. Unlike his brother, Jacob wrote kids books. Xerxes I ( 519 – 465 B.C.), also known as Xerxes the Great, ruled Persia from 486 to 465 B.C. Xerxes is arguably most famous for his attempt to invade Greece. At the Battle of Thermopylae, Leonidas of Sparta fought Xerxes’ much larger army but were eventually defeated. Although Xerxes marched further into Greece, he was forced to return to Persia due to an uprising. The Persian forces in Greece would then be driven out the next year.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great Book By K. Lefevre I will be up front. I did not go out looking for this. It was recommended by a friend.The book is a little slow getting into, so hang in there. I usually give a book about 80 pages. If it is not good by 80 pages it probably will never get good. This book passes the page test though.This book surprised me by the author's ability to write a ficticious story about nonfictitious characters. For the time that it was written it is superb. I recommend it to those who are looking for a good read.
