This richly illustrated book is intended primarily, but not solely, for young people.

It takes readers on an adventure to one of the ‘new’ (since 1991) countries that have appeared on the map of Europe. It shows clearly that Belarus is not such a new country after all!
The book is the result of a unique collaboration between the skilled writer and historian Uladzimir Arloŭ, and the accomplished artist Paviel Tatarnikaŭ.
This is part one of two parts and covers from earliest times to eighteen century - from Rahnieda to Kaściuška
This first part covers the period from the very earliest times to the end of the eighteenth century.

Publication of this book was made possible with the support of the Belarusian Charitable Trust in Great Britain and Paviel Bierahovič
