A Little History of the World
When he was 26 the future art historian E H Gombrich was asked to write a short history of the world for children. Banned by the Nazis, it has not been translated into English until now, but it has just been published by Yale University Press, with illustrations by Clifford Harper, whose work frequently appears in the Guardian.
