Description
Use story to introduce your children to 7 periods of history, highlighting famous historical characters. Starting at 408 AD, read about 40 people from each period of European history: from the barbarian invasion of Rome (Attila, Alaric), the Germanic nations (Clovis, Charlemagne), the Teutons (Beowulf, Rollo, St Patrick), rise of nations (Henry the Fowler, Magna Charta), Crusades (the First and the Children's), progress and discovery (Marco Polo, Gutenburg, Magellan), and struggling nations (Robert Bruce, William Tell, Joan of Arc). This personable and enjoyable text was first published in 1911 by schoolteacher and author, Eva March Tappan (author of the Children's Hour and The World's Story Compendiums). As with any book from this time period, you'll see an older perspective about religion's influence and spread, the Crusades, Mohammed, and wars of many religions and factions. Periodic black and white illustrations, and selected poetry round out the volume. 239 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
