Retro-style book for young readers. Read the story of the automobile, from the invention of the wheel to the most modern racing machines.

Seven thousand years ago humankind invented the potter’s wheel; this seemingly unrelated invention marks the beginning of something that makes the heart of every boy and many a girl beat a little faster. The first carts, the steam engines that marked the beginning of motoring, the earliest ancestor of the car with the internal combustion engine, plus the modern cars driven by James Bond and Batman – all this awaits you in this lushly illustrated book with unconventional, retro-style graphics.
