Drawing on Scripture, the Apocrypha and Josephus, A. L. O. E. retells for young readers the history of the Jews between the testaments. She begins with the return from Babylon, Esther and Nehemiah, moves through Alexander the Great and the rule of Egypt and Syria to the Maccabees’ victories, and ends with the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus.
