AMAZING places to see and visit across the world can be both natural and man-made.

Famous Places – the last of our fantastic Disney The Wonderful World of Knowledge books – looks at the different landscapes and objects that nature has created.

It also examines the wonders of the world's tallest buildings, intriguing places of worship and awe-inspiring modern-day stadia and sporting arenas.

As ever, the book is packed with pictures, diagrams and cartoon characters, such as Pluto and Mickey Mouse, all helping to explain about our amazing world to primary-age children.

There are also dozens of exciting facts. Did you know, for example, that it took 20,000 skilled workers 22 years to build the Taj Mahal in India?

Or that the United Nations headquarters in the USA is not built on American soil? Instead, it is considered to be an international zone, with its own stamps and post office.

The final book in the 24-volume series covers different periods in history and many varied countries.

It moves from coral reefs and snow-topped mountains to features such as pyramids, castles and caves.

Did you know the longest suspension bridge is Alasko-Kaijkyo bridge in Japan and the tallest building is in Dubai?

Or that the highest waterfall is the Angel Falls, in Venezuela, and the largest football ground is the May Day Stadium in North Korea, which holds 150,000 people?

All this knowledge, and more, could be yours for just £2.99 together with the voucher on this page.

Gemma Maitland, 10, of Uttoxeter New Road, has been collecting the entire series of books.

She said: "I have enjoyed getting them each week. I have preferred some books because of what I am interested in.

"My favourites have been about people and places. I also enjoyed the space book and the one about birds.

"I think I am going to miss getting the books each week."

Thousands of people have been collecting the books and by now everyone will have a set of informative volumes that together make a very useful encyclopaedia of knowledge.

Shirley Carr, 58, of Birchover Way, Allestree, has been collecting the books for her grandson, Jamie.

She said: "I have been very surprised by how much I have learned from looking at them with Jamie. I keep them at my home so that he can read them when he visits or stays.

"I think the subjects have been very varied and interesting and personally I liked the one about birds best."
