A fascinating slice of true-crime history that unfolds in 1695, when law enforcement was unheard of and modern money was little more than a concept

When renowned scientist Isaac Newton took up the post of Warden of His Majesty's Mint in London, another kind of genius--a preternaturally gifted counterfeiter named William Chaloner--had already taken up residence in the city, rising quickly in an unruly, competitive underworld. In the courts and streets of London, and amid the tremors of a world being transformed by ideas Newton himself had set in motion, Chaloner crosses paths with the formidable new warden. An epic game of cat and mouse ensues in Newton and the Counterfeiter, revealing for the first time that Newton was not only one of the greatest minds of his age, but also a remarkably intrepid investigator.

Cutest little story!
Format: Board book
I just got this for my son and his Daddy. The story is so cute and I may have gotten choked up at the end. If you’re looking for a story for your man to read to your little one(s), I highly recommend this one!

Lovely, adorable & well-written - perfect, "daddy" book!
Format: Board book
I bought this book for my son (and maybe a little for my husband lol) when I realized he had 3 "mommy-centered" books, but none for daddy. I wanted one with quality artwork that also had a more tender and meaningful approach, rather than just silly, one that could foster appreciation of my husband and how much he loves my son. I had a difficult time narrowing down which book to get, but I am SO very glad that this is the one I went with. The pictures are adorable, the rhythm & rhyming are very well done and flow well, and the message of the book is exactly what I was hoping for, showing how daddy helps baby learn and grow and how much they love each other. My son loves it!
