King Chen became the First Supreme Emperor of China about 2,200 years ago. The greatest of the Emperor's many responsibilities was to protect his people from the fierce Mongol Horsemen, who raided villages and threatened to invade all of China. King Chen's brilliant solution was to build The Great Wall of China. After ten years of back-breaking work, the 3,730-mile wall was complete. Though today parts of it lie in ruins, the Great Wall of China remains a testament to the strength and will of the Chinese people. Awe-inspiring black and gray illustrations set the tone for this history of the building of the Great Wall of China. For ages 6 and up.
