Polish History Comic Vol.2 - Treasure de Valois (Bilingual)

Bilingual (Polish-English) educational comic books series presenting selected aspects of Polish history. For parents and teachers alike, it is more and more difficult to convince children to open and read a book. The situation changes when we offer them a comic book or a computer game. This new idea of teaching Polish history by reading comic books has so far proven to be effective. Presented in an exciting style, comics draw the attention of children as well as their parents. At the end of each comic is a short dictionary listing of old Polish terms along with a list of Polish-English vocabulary.

Second comic book from the Guardians of Eagle Feather (Strażnicy Orlego Pióra) series presenting the history of Henry of Valois (1551-1589), in the tale of Treasure de Valois (Skarb Walezjusza). Henry III, the son of King Henry II of France, was the first king of Poland to be elected in free election by all the gentry in 1573. In June of 1574, Henry fled Kraków in order to assume the French throne. His escape made a very bad impression in Poland.
