Did you know that you can get a DVD of the Battle of Hastings shot live by a BBC reporter ?
It is quite old and the quality is not so good because of the wooden camera and the fact that the chip inside it was actually made from a piece of fried potato, or a spud as it was called then before Sir Walter Raleigh invented the bicycle.
The Dooms Daybook was his greatest work, his Magna Carta no less, but did you know that it was written in Braille so that King Harold could read it ?

William the Conqueror didn't write any books himself; but it's clear that the answer you're looking for is the Domesday Survey, which he 'commissioned'.

I don't think William the Conqueror wrote any books himself but you can check some books out at the library that are about him and his life.

purely grab a e book for the age team exact and get your proposal from there. At this age somewhat they do no longer choose memories and fairytales. they savour super , vibrant photographs of the 1st words they study (toddler, ball, doggy, moon, shapes, shoes, door)-issues they see and prepare getting to understand in each and every-day existence. I mean do no longer use annoying words like sunlight-flower, rhinoceros, etc. could additionally use counting and ABC, rhyming (issues that have a rhythm-like Dr. Seuss' ABC e book-would not make experience to an person, yet I examine it to my toddler in a making a music tone). My toddler is 17 months and in basic terms learns if she sees the object in real existence besides. Then she recognizes it in the e book.
