Entertaining and Educational, But Hard to Use
The stories in this book are great. They remind me of the Paul Harvey "and now for the rest of the story". But my gripes.

This review is from: Fifty Famous People (Paperback)
The stories in this book are great. They remind me of the Paul Harvey "and now for the rest of the story". But my gripes. The stories are not chronilogical, which would be fine if there were an index, which there isn't. The Table of Contents lists the title of story, which in no way gives you a clue as to who the story is about. There is at the back of the book a list titled "Who they were, what they were, where they lived", but not a "where to find them in this book".
In order to use this book in our homeschooling I had to read the entire thing and make my own index. Which was a pleasure, but seems kindof odd that I had to.

Educational and entertaining short stories about famous people of the world history:
"One of the best things to be said of the stories in this volume is that, although they are not biographical, they are about real persons who actually lived and performed their parts in the great drama of the world's history. Some of these persons were more famous than others, yet all have left enduring "footprints on the sands of time" and their names will not cease to be remembered. In each of the stories there is a basis of truth and an ethical lesson which cannot fail to have a wholesome influence..." (James Baldwin) |
