What’s Hot!

This book was more fun to write than any other non-fiction I’ve done. Why? Because I got to draw from a Colosseum-sized mass of source material, quirky art, and on-site data that I’ve collected. In the process, I found scads more trades and professions than the 150 careers that made it into the book. The ancient job market hummed with vitality--and so did the lively human landscape of long ago. As Publishers Weekly said about IX to V: “Drawing on the same outrageous humor that’s made her Uppity Women series so popular, León demonstrates how uncannily similar the workaday experiences of the ancient world are to ours.”
