The Story of the World Volume 2: The Middle Ages – Where Castles, Chocolate, and Conquests Collide!
Dragons may be dangerous, but the Middle Ages were legendary—and your kids are about to dive headfirst into the action.
The Story of the World Volume 2: The Middle Ages whisks your family away on an epic journey through real stories of knights, samurai, Viking raids, clever queens, ruthless kings, chocolate discoveries, and even a giant named Fovor of the Mighty Blows. From the fall of Rome to the first stirrings of the Renaissance, this book makes history feel more like an adventure novel than a timeline.
Whether read aloud to young learners or handed off to your history-loving middle schooler, this newly revised edition is the perfect starting point for a full year of medieval studies.
What's Inside the Text?
You'll find black-and-white illustrations, loads of maps (because history happens in real places), a pronunciation guide for all those trickier names, and a chronological layout that makes the Middle Ages make sense. The tone is friendly, the stories are vivid, and the info is sneakily unforgettable.
From castles to catapults, chocolate to Constantinople, The Story of the World Volume 2 makes the Middle Ages the most exciting part of your homeschool year. Get ready to storm the (educational) castle—history class has never been this much fun!
About The Story of the World Series – History That Reads Like an Adventure Book!
Tired of history that feels more like a list of dates than an epic tale? Then you're ready for The Story of the World—a wildly engaging, story-driven history curriculum that brings the past to life with dragons, emperors, explorers, and the occasional pie fight (seriously).
This four-volume series by Susan Wise Bauer turns world history into a captivating read-aloud (or read-alone!) journey from ancient times to the modern age, all told in a way that actually makes sense to kids. Think of it as your child's personal time machine—minus the jet lag.
What You'll Explore
Volume 1: Ancient Times
From pyramids and pharaohs to the last Roman emperor—travel back to the very beginning!
Volume 2: The Middle Ages
Castles, crusaders, and chocolate (yes, really). From the fall of Rome to the start of the Renaissance.
Volume 3: Early Modern Times
Queen Elizabeth I, samurai battles, and the invention of potato chips (okay, almost). All the excitement from the 1500s to the Gold Rush.
Volume 4: The Modern Age
From railroads to revolutions, you'll tour the globe and wrap up with the 20th century's biggest moments.
Each volume is built to flex with your family—Volume 1 is great for curious kids in grades 1–6, while Volume 4 ramps things up for older students, typically grades 4–8, with topics that carry a little more weight.
The series isn't faith-based, but it does introduce major figures from many world religions. If your family prefers to skip a few activities here and there, no problem—there's more than enough to choose from. And when the biblical details feel a bit light? That's your cue to jump in and share more of God's story, making the lesson even richer and more personal.
How It Works
Read the story aloud (or let your child read it himself).
Use the companion activity book to color maps, do hands-on crafts, answer questions, and dive into extra reading.
Prefer to listen? The audio version is perfect for car rides or quiet time.
Want to quiz your brain? Test books are optional but great for check-ins!
