Using this book (Kindle version) for TOG YR 2, Unit 1. I am having a 5th grader read it alone, and he seems to be grasping the material. It is a little tricky because the page numbers don't match up with those listed in TOG's reading assignments, but if you go to the "Look Inside" copy of the book you can print the Table of Contents, so at least you can match the chapters with what is being discussed that week.

4.0 out of 5 stars helped me understand some events more clearly.

This book was written for a younger readers. Because of this, the author offered clear explanations on events and people. Harding, for example, clearly covered reasons for the start and the ending of the Middle Ages. Although I love Medieval history, and have read many related books, I learned from this book. I found myself saying, "Oh, so THAT'S why". Recommended to clarify in a "Middle Ages for Dummies" approach.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2007
Tapestry of Grace curriculum uses this book and The Middle Ages: An Illustrated History (Oxford U. Press) for middle school. Story of the Middle Ages is a good overview. It is dated in certain aspects, but its critiques of most cultures and events are balanced and should be helpful to the young student of this period. It pairs well with the OUP title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Aged terms that can be offensive
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2022
So, I may be alone in seeing it this way, but, describing the original German peoples as 'barbaric' in comparison to the early Romans despite both races being 'from the great arian race', feels obscenely offensive. I get that this is an overview of the main history events and was written by a white guy in the early 1900s, but we can do better. I'm not fully comfortable with children hearing that Germans were 'good' because they were capable of abandoning their customs for Christianity while the native Americans were 'bad' because they did not receive the Christian faith as openly.

The whole book kind of leans towards this with how it is worded, and I really just wish it was the recapping of events without the whispers of 'white' and 'Christianity' being perceived as the leading forces as to how we became the society we are today.
