Stories of the Nations, Volume 1

by Charles Morris, Lorene Lambert, Sonya Shafer

Mr. Morris's narratives, originally published in 1901, make you feel as if you are listening to a kindly grandfather recounting tales from the past. This delightful book will introduce to your child famous people and events that occurred in the nations around the world. Plus we've added a few chapters of our own, so Volume 1 presents stories from Queen Elizabeth through Garibaldi (1550–1850).

I enjoyed this one, but she comes down pretty biased against some characters in history. Her opinions might be warranted, but I prefer history books to tell the facts and let me decide what to think about them.

Great for middle school kids. Def not woke. Drawn from very old childrens history books.

This is our second time to read this book together as a part of our homeschool studies. As with the other books in this series, it serves as our family read-aloud as we study the same time period in history and then the kids have their own on-level reading along with it. The stories here keep everyone's attention (grades 1-10), and introduce people and empires in a memorable, enjoyable way.
