The Story of the World: Ancient Times - by Susan Wise Bauer - $25.95  

A wonderful story from the time from the earliest nomads to the last Roman emperor. Susan has written one of the few books around for young children covering the world’s history in a story form. Contains myriad stories not in other histories – eg. the story of Gilgamesh, Hammurabi’s laws listed, the Bible where it ties in, the Hyksos in Egypt, Chinese writing and more. Being a modern book (2006 version) it avoids the more patronising style of some other similar books written a century ago. Ages 5 - 15 yrs. Pb

May be used with the Story of the World Activity Book or another programme.

Revised verion.
