From the Preface
The study of history, like the study of a landscape, should begin with the most conspicuous features. Not until these have been fixed in memory will the lesser features fall into their appropriate places and assume their right proportions.

The famous men of ancient and modern times are the mountain peaks of history. It is logical then that the study of history should begin with the biographies

pages falling out
Beautiful book, great content and pictures. But after only 2 months we have sections of the book falling out. If not for that I would have given it 5 stars.

Fantastic resource!
We purchased this for our home school curriculum, and I am so glad that it is part of our library. Our children hung on every word, and the illustrations are very well done and captivating. This really brings to life the stories of those who shaped events of history.

Great content, horrible binding.
The contents of this book are excellent and have served as a great supplement to our homeschool high school course on the Middle Ages, however, after only two months, the pages are falling out of the book.

Since this is a classic, you may find it by a different publisher. Avoid this version.
