The Story of the World 2 Bundle
Medieval history includes kings, explorers, invasions, trade routes, changing empires, and enough unexpected stories to feel stranger than fiction. Volume 2 organizes those events into story-driven history covering world history from the fall of Rome through the beginning of the Renaissance.
Students encounter knights, samurai, Viking raids, rulers, religious movements, explorers, and civilizations across Europe, Asia, Africa, and beyond as they learn how people and events shaped the medieval world.
Designed primarily for grades 1–6, Volume 2 serves as the second book in Susan Wise Bauer’s four-volume world history series and works well as either a read-aloud or independent history text.
Inside the text, families will find:
- Black-and-white illustrations
- Maps throughout the book
- Pronunciation guides for unfamiliar names and places
- Chronological organization that helps students understand how events connect across time
Families wanting the most complete program will find these included resources helpful:
- Companion Activity Book with maps, crafts, narration prompts, projects, coloring pages, and review activities
- Audiobook narration by Jim Weiss for listening during car rides, quiet time, or additional review
The Story of the World is not faith-based but introduces important historical figures, cultures, and religions throughout world history. Families who prefer additional worldview discussions can easily expand conversations as topics arise.
The goal is simple: help students connect medieval history into one continuous story rather than isolated names and dates.

Families can successfully begin with whatever time period most interests them. Some families prefer starting with ancient times and unraveling the story sequentially until modern times. Yet because the full scope of history is taught repeatedly up through high school, it is okay to skip volumes, knowing that the same events will be covered later.
