GIFT & HUMOUR

Part of the new Ladybird Expert series, Armageddonis an accessible and authoritative introduction to an idea so deep-rooted in our culture that it's often referred to as the end of the world.

Written by Egyptologist and lecturer of archaeology Joann Fletcher, Armageddon explores the history, culture and philosophy behind this ancient concept.

You'll discover the mountainous location of the Armageddon, learn about a prophesy of gathering of armies and how even Ronald Reagan misinterpreted the idea behind what has now become a Milton-esque story.
