5.0 out of 5 stars Complete, concise, logical and just what I was looking for., April 18, 1999

This review is from: Let the Authors Speak: A Guide to Worthy Books Based on Historical Setting (Paperback)

This book arranges both historical fiction and classics according to the era in which they are set, according to reading ability level, and according to author. It's a fast way to find something really good to supplement any history course - or to just find something good to read.

My Mother homeschooled me for ten years, and this book was one of her favorite resources. I remember seeking it out to learn more about medieval life, the pioneers, or Roman times. The author sorts the books by historical era and reading level. I am buying a copy for my own use now that I am grown.

This review is from: Let the Authors Speak: A Guide to Worthy Books Based on Historical Setting (Paperback)

I bought this book with some great expectations due to the summary and reviews. However, I think there might be better choices out there. My children learn well with Historical Fiction. This book only offered me a few extra choices for historical fiction that I already had known. I do like how the book is categorized by time period, author, and alphebetical. This as come in hany when my children seem to respond to a particular author in which I want to find more titles, or when I forget the author of a great book.
