Suleiman the Magnificent and the Story of Istanbul |
| Julia Marshall |
| Hood Hood Books, paperback, 48 pp. |
| Near the end of his life, Suleiman the Magnificent received three ambassadors from Europe. With one of them, Hungary's de Busbeq, he developed a remarkable friendship, spending many hours with him and telling him of his life and rule. De Busbeq, upon his return, wrote a memoir of his conversations with the Sultan. This is a retelling of Suleiman's story and of the time the two men spent together. A wonderful introduction to the golden age of Ottoman history. For grades 5-8. |
