The Early Modern Times edition in Susan Wise Bauer's acclaimed children's narrative history, this audio book covers the period from 1600 to 1850, and is read by award-winning storyteller Jim Weiss.
"The audio book version of The Story of the World is an invaluable resource for any parent who wants to arouse a child's interest in history (or for any listener who wants to catch up on history in the car!). High quality, easy to use, beautifully indexed (you can find any chapter or section immediately!), and performed with excellence—I give it my heartiest endorsement."
—Susan Wise Bauer
