Description
Who hasn’t heard of the samurai? These Japanese warriors, who served under the orders of the shogun and lived by their strict code of honour, bushido, have made a name for themselves worldwide.
Modern-day kids Annie and Nico embark on a magical history tour to find out more about the samurai, an essential group in Japanese society for 700 years. Masters of the sword and men of honour, the samurai are still shrouded in intrigue today. But Annie and Nico will peel back the curtains on the mystery and capably explain the samurai’s origins, way of life, and their eventual decline in this pocket-sized book, perfect for classrooms and libraries!
Magical History Tour Vol. 12 offers readers a fascinating journey, bringing historical facts to life with clarity and appeal for young audiences.

About the Author
Fabrice Erre, born in 1973 in France, is an author and teacher of comics, as well as an accomplished historian. Through his comics, he seeks above all to parody human behavior, teasing out our little personal weaknesses and our vulnerability to manipulation by the masses. Most recently, putting his history background to good use, Erre has teamed up with artist Sylvain Savoia to create the series THE THREAD OF HISTORY, set on bringing the past to vivid life for younger readers.
Born in 1969, Sylvain Savoia grew up in France, and discovered comicbooks at a young age. In 1989, he registered at the Saint-Luc art school in Brussels. Savoia enjoys a prolific international career illustrating comics.
