Why we like it

What we really appreciate about this book is how it takes children's natural fascination with spy stories and transforms it into something genuinely informative - offering real glimpses into the history of espionage whilst maintaining that sense of mystery that makes the subject so appealing. The illustrations by Mathias Sielfeld are particularly striking, bringing a contemporary graphic novel feel to the stories whilst the text strikes just the right balance between accessible and engaging.
