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.

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.
