Xrina At Hagar Qim
by Kent E. Clizbe, Ignat Konstantinov (Illustrator).
The Children of Malta series brings the magic of Maltese history to life,
thousands of years, thousands of children. 7,500 years of history in twelve
stories for children. Each book tells a story about a boy or girl in a period of
Maltese history.
Malta, a group of small islands in the Mediterranean, has seen a variety of
cultures through the ages. Today, the oldest standing man-made structures are in
Malta, the stone temples. We are not sure why they were built, or what they
were used for, but it is clear that a highly evolved culture constructed them.
Volume 1 of the series, Xrina at Hagar Qim: The Temple Culture, tells the story
of an important day in the life of Xrina, the daughter of the master stone setter of
the Maltese temples in 4,500 BC.
