The Swan King
- Description
Set in the mid-19th century, our premiere issue explores the wild story of King Ludwig II of Bavaria and his castle, Neuschwanstein. Raised in the Bavarian countryside, King Ludwig II, also known as 'Mad' King Ludwig, grew up inspired by his surroundings and fairy tales. He ended up creating one of the most iconic castles in history, inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Why We Love This Brand
Honest History was founded by Brooke and her husband David Knight who always wanted to work at a kids’ magazine that combined equal parts creativity, education and honest storytelling. They believe in honest journalism because they believe that what children read leaves a lasting impression. They only use verified academic sources and spend many hours of research for each topic. They also believe in telling stories that are left untold in many traditional classrooms, like the issue on the Chinese female pirate, Cheng I Sao.
