You can never get too much history – especially when it is well written (and told or read)!

My sister recently let me borrow Susan Wise Bauer’s book (and audiobook) “The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child.” What a delight!  I’ve been listening to the book as I drive around town and the length of the chapters is great – each chapter only takes about 10 minutes to listen to.

Here are a few of the chapter heading for volume one (there are 4 volumes):

Chp. 1 – The Earliest People

Chp. 2 – Egyptians Lived on the Nile River

Chp. 3 – The first writing

Chp. 4 – The Old Kingdom of Egypt

Chp. 5 – The First Sumerian Dictator

I would recommend reading it (or listening to it, in my case) – young or old, history buffs or not.
