The Great Benin Empire

The ancient empire of Benin was one of Africa's greatest at the height of its powers. Stretching across vast areas of present-day Nigeria/West Africa, Benin is world-renowned for its priceless bronze sculptures and other beautiful artwork. The kingdom suffered irreparable loss at the hands of colonial British forces in the late 19th century and never quite regained its glory. This is the story of how they resisted bravely against impossible odds. Brought to life with beautiful graphics, this volume is part of the Nigeria History & Heritage Children's Books Series by +234Express® designed to inspire both kids and adults.
