Reviews for Story of the World, Vol. 2: History for the Classical Child: The Middle Ages

This works wonderfully as a family read-aloud... There's plenty of dialogue and enough detail to keep adults interested. -- Cafi Cohen, author of Homeschooling The Teen Years This may well be the best multi-age read aloud narrative of world history yet to have been written. -- Homeschooling in Japan
