The Story of the World, 4 Volume Set My daughter has listened to
all of these audios and LOVES them. She has learned so much from
them that I would not have had time to teach her. We used them
as a supplement to our Classical Conversations Timeline
curriculum. Well worth the money. February 19, 2013 "Story of
the World" is a four volume set of "storybooks" which tell the
story of world history from the time of the nomads to events in
the 20 century. To accompany the four volume set there is an
audio version recorded by actor Jim Wiess and activity books to
enhance your studies. The books are labeled for Grades 1-8.
However based on our experience and the content of the series I
would recommend using the set as follows: Volume 1 Grade 5,
Volume 2 Grade 6, Volume 3 Grade 7 and Volume 4 Grade 8. I would
highly recommend V.M. Hillyer's classic "A Child's History of
the World" for children in Grades 1-4. April 23, 2009 I
recommend The Story of the World. While these books aren't
perfect, they are still WAY better
