Here is the story of three true men, Stephen Langton, Williams Marshall, and Hubert de Burgh, whose heroic deeds are set against those of the ever deceitful and crafty King John.
James Daugherty's narrative is divided into four parts, the first three describing the intriguing development of the Magna Charta itself. The fourth part is titled "Children of the Magna Charta" and subtitled "Milestones that have marked the long road from Magna Charta". In it he describes the rise of other movements that harkened back to the Magna Charta in their claims for freedom and self rule, including the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the covenant of the League of Nations, the Atlantic Charter, the Charter of the Organization of the American States, and the United Nations Charter.
Newbery Award-winning author James Daugherty gives us the dramatic and sweeping account of this pageantry of history through his inimitable style. This audio edition is sure to thrill and enlighten a new generation of readers.

What made the experience of listening to The Magna Charta the most enjoyable?
Well written. It gave me a whole new perspective of how far reaching the Magna Charta actually was as a forunner of the UN charter. Geoffrey Howard's narration made listening quite enjoyable.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Magna Charta?
King John's intigues in wanting to hold onto power.What about Geoffrey Howard’s performance did you like?
Geoffrey Howard's performance made the story come alive. I've always enjoyed hearing him read.If you could rename The Magna Charta, what would you call it?
Would you rename the Mona Lisa? Thjis book may not be on the same level but why change a title that works? I certainly won't.Any additional comments?
Audible certainly makes listening to books more enjoyable, especially on long drives.Historically entertaining.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
NoWhat was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Some of the story about King John's shenanigans before being forced to sign the Magna Carta was interesting.Most of the rest of the book has either gone overkill on the adjectives or one gets confused about the character's involved and their importance.
What three words best describe Geoffrey Howard’s performance?
Dull. Overly dramatic.Do you think The Magna Charta needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No.Any additional comments?
Language is way too flowery and the narration overly dramatic. And the last chapter linking the Magna Carta to every conceivably important document since is overkill.I guess that the story itself is informative, and its nice to see an attempt to make it interesting with histrionics... but it just doesn't work. I found myself bored and not caring.
Not sure if its truly the narrator's fault since he is only reading what was given to him, but the narration didn't feel exciting either. I'm looking for a good book about the Middle Ages that keeps my attention... still looking.
Narration is overly dramatic on dull material.
