Akash Gupta –
An absolute delight! Li and Ladybird have created an accessible and compelling version of Histories.
Anish Dutta –
Amanda Li’s translation is excellent! Very readable and engaging. My only complaint is the lack of in-depth analysis.
Vansh Sarraf –
Not bad, but I’ve read better translations. It is, however, quite affordable. Gets the basic story across.
Ravi Yadav –
Loved the clarity of this edition! Herodotus comes alive. A must-read for anyone interested in ancient Greece.
Puneet Kajal –
A good introduction to Herodotus, but sometimes felt a bit too simplified. Still, a solid starting point. Ladybird makes history accessible.
Sarvesh –
This edition is concise, but some of the original nuance seems lost. Good for a quick read, though.
Shamir A –
Brilliant! Amanda Li’s take is fresh and the edition is beautifully presented. A truly enjoyable read.
Siddharth Vankam –
Found it a bit basic for my liking, but perfect for someone new to Herodotus. Good starting point.
Vishal –
A mixed bag. Some parts were fascinating, others less so. Ultimately a worthwhile read for history fans.
Anwesha Pal Chaudhuri –
Interesting, but some parts were a bit dry. Overall, a decent overview of Herodotus’ ‘Histories’.
Srijan Agrawal Manglik –
Engaging and easy to understand. The translation is superb! Highly recommended for history buffs.
