The titles in the Adventures in the Real World series provide in-depth, fast-paced accounts of famous, world-changing voyages and expeditions throughout history, using a mix of easy-to-read text, fact boxes providing historical context, comic strips dramatising significant episodes in the journey and maps of the routes taken to appeal to reluctant readers. AD 79 The Destruction of Pompeii explores the famous Roman town of Pompeii in the years before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the timeline of its destruction and its subsequent rediscovery hundreds of years later. The story is recounted by the plaster casts of a dog and a horse, two victims of the eruption in Pompeii, adding an element of irreverent humour to the retelling.
