Historia
Elizabeth Ann is being carefully brought up by her Aunt Frances. Aunt Frances shares in all Elizabeth Ann's fears and slights, walks her to and from school each day, and conscientiously follows the most modern theories on child-rearing. She is the original helicopter parent. Not surprisingly, at nine years old Elizabeth Ann is timid and shy, friendless, and completely dependent on her doting aunt. Then an emergency occurs, and the fearful little girl is temporarily sent to other relatives who live on a farm in Vermont.

Historia
Legendary tales of the lives of famous people and historic episodes. Of these 50 stories, some have historical value, some are useful as giving point to certain great moral truths, and others are intended only to amuse. A few of these stories are from very ancient sources and are current in the literature of many lands, while many of more recent origin have come to us through the ballads and folk tales of the English people. Nearly all are frequently alluded to in poetry and prose.

Resumen del Editor
Based on historical fact, this audiobook is full of intrigue and chivalry, and at a time when Normandy was not part of France. This is the romantic childhood history of Richard the Fearless, Duke of Normandy. After his father was assassinated, when he was just nine years old, he is kidnapped and imprisoned by Louis of France who wanted to annex Normandy.
But thanks to the bravery and daring of Richard's loyal squire and knight, Osmond de Centeville, he makes good his escape. Richard's great grandson was to become William the Conqueror and King of England. The story is full of suspense and bravery, of loyalty and resolve under the most scary circumstances. Courage is a strong value for all involved.

The Arthurian Romances by Chrétien de Troyes form the wellspring of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Stories of knightly valour in the Welsh Marches had existed before the 12th century, but it was the magnificent poetry and imagination of Chrétien, the 12th century French poet and trouvère, which brought alive the great characters of Arthur, his wife Guinevere, Lancelot and others.

Historia
Quixotic is a word that the dictionary defines as "extravagantly chivalrous or romantic; visionary...." and that is a fitting definition, indeed, for this charming retelling of Don Quixote, the 17t- century Spanish classic by Miguel de Cervantes, now updated for the modern listener. The gallant and fragile Quixote will touch listeners, as will his faithful squire Sancho Panza and the tragically beautiful heroine of the gentle Don’s chivalries, the fair Dulcinea.

Historia
The most influential work of the entire Spanish literary canon and a founding work of modern Western literature, Don Quixote is also one of the greatest works ever written. Hugely entertaining but also moving at times, this episodic novel is built on the fantasy life of one Alonso Quixano, who lives with his niece and housekeeper in La Mancha. Quixano, obsessed by tales of knight errantry, renames himself ‘Don Quixote’ and with his faithful servant Sancho Panza, goes on a series of quests.

Young nobleman d’Artagnan has arrived in Paris intent on joining the guardians of King Louis XIII. He befriends the regiment’s most formidable musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and together they unite in their commitment to uphold justice. Soon, a royal indiscretion thrusts them into an audacious escapade of courtly intrigue, thwarted romance, and daring rescue. But it’s the Machiavellian schemes of a powerful enemy and the wicked seductions of an ingenious female spy that will be their greatest challenges.

Much of his enduring popularity is due to his engaging manner of writing about the lives of insects in biographical form. In The Story Book of Science the wonders of plant and animal life are shared by an adult in conversations with three children.

All of us enjoy a story of battle and adventure. Some of us delight in the anxiety and excitement with which we watch the various strange predicaments, hairbreadth escapes, and ingenious contrivances that are presented to us; and the mere imaginary dread of the dangers thus depicted, stirs our feelings and makes us feel eager and full of suspense. A Golden Deed must be something more than mere display of fearlessness. Grave and resolute fulfillment of duty is required to give it the true weight.

Makes Learning History Unforgettable!
This was a great story that is based on history. I listened to this one with my seven year old and we both enjoyed it! David Thorn does a nice job creating the voices of even the children. It is a story with a lot of adventure and human relationships. This was back when life was hard, even for the wealthy rulers. This book helps one understand what life was like back then. THis is not a book that is written at a dumbed down level. Charlotte Yonge wrote back in the late 1800's. She knew hew history and it was a pleasure to learn from her. This book has stood the test of time. We will listen to it again soon on an upcoming car trip with the rest of the family.

Loved it!
Started off a little slow but my 8 year old son ended up absolutely loving it. He has brought it up a few times in conversation and I can't believe how much the story has stuck with him. My advice is to take it slow and only read a chapter a day at most. He seems to really absorb the story that way.

A Gem for your Library
This audio version of The Little Duke is gorgeous. I listened to a sample based on a recommendation from another mom and I fell in love immediately. It was really helpful to have someone familiar with both the story flow and language reading it because it makes it come alive in a way it might not if I was reading it on my own. I highly recommend it not only for the incredible story, but also for David Thorn's pristine narration.

Great book, no chapter breaks
The beginning is hard with the details and learning the amazing characters to come. This is a great book. I used this audio as a pre-read to gain familiarity before reading aloud to my third grader.
It only lacks having read chapter breaks so I can skip between chapters - why aren’t these marked? Why is it so hard to mRk them on my own?

Story Time
This was a good children's version of an interesting point in history. It gently explains the machinations of early French and Norman royalty. Bonus it was a story I was not familiar with so I learned a bit as well as one can from fictionalized historical events.
The narrator was like listening to a grandpa reading a book to his grandchildren. It was a nice warm and fuzzy experience.

Great story for my History Kid
I started this book just before my son turned 6. He loves history and I’ve read him several books meant for grade schoolers. The audiobooks have been harder for him to follow due to accents and speed of the reading. I would pause the story and recap what was happening. The sentence structure is of a different era and the names are all foreign for a little American kindergartener. But he lived it and wants to listen to it all again! I also enjoyed the story and hit my old history books to read again about that time period. An older child should do better, but the vocabulary, older sentence structure and foreign names should keep the patent as a listening partner to help decipher complicated constructions. Also a good moral tale with plenty of examples of good character.
