Stories from the History of Rome

Gelesen von Melissa Jane

(3,967 Sterne; 15 Bewertungen)

Mrs. Emily Beesly, the writer of this brilliant narrative, lived in an era of nothing but fairy tales and "the stories of nursery life" for her children. Yet, she believed that when historical stories of importance were reworded into narratives fit for her children's ears, they, too could learn the Stories from the History of Rome and grow in knowledge, fascination, and wonder with the past. This is the product of that idea and desire. Summary by Melissa Petermann (3 hr 42 min)

History of Rome

(3,5 Sterne)

Ok the stories are great! But Melissa Jane's voice is annoying! Lady your suppose to read this book in one voice so that people can enjoy it! Other than that it was great! Don't raise your voice when it's not needed. That's how you can get bad feedbacks. Other than that people she was fine . But listen for yourself and then write your REVIEW! Not before! Because you might like her voice.

My son is dyslexic and can’t read this on his own yet, so it’s super helpful to have this as an audio! My son appreciates the variation in the readers voice bc he can track the story better!
