A mesmerising journey through history

My kids and I listened to this on car journeys and we could not get enough of it. Instead of arguing in the car, they beg to listen to Story of the World. This is a win on all fronts

History

History is so incredible. I love that I can know a little bit from it. You get to understand things that you didn't know. And there's a little bit of geography too! But if you don't read this book then you may never know what happen in the past, so I insist you read this book.
