The Story of the World Volume 2: The Middle Ages

The Middle Ages covers the major historical events in 400 to 1600 AD. Who discovered chocolate? What happened to the Giant Fovor of the Mighty Blows? Why did the Ottoman Turks drag their war ships across dry land? A read-aloud history for the whole family!



The Activity Book offers parents and teachers a complete history curriculum for use with The Story of the World. In addition to extensive reading lists and cross-references to the most common illustrated encyclopedias, the Activity Book contains comprehension questions, sample narrations, maps, coloring pages, and activities for each chapter in The Story of the World. Children and parent-teachers love the activities, ranging from coloring pages and games to mummifying a chicken!



The Story of the World Volume 2 Audio Book is unabridged for listening to on long car trips, while working around the house, or just for added convenience on any school day! This spirited reading of The Story of the World Volume 2 brings to life the stories and records of the people of the Middle Ages.

  • About the Story of the World Series:

    This captivating read-aloud series will introduce your children to the world's great history presented chronologically from the beginning of time. Each volume of The Story of the World includes the details of battles, kingdoms, cultures, and customs from every continent and major people group. It is woven together into stories that children will find mesmerizing. With short chapters, many less than seven pages, The Story of the World presents history in small, easily-digestible chunks. Of particular appeal to children will be the occasional story about a hypothetical child in the culture of that time and popular fictional stories.

    The Story of the World is intended to be a read-aloud program for first through sixth grade, but it can work equally well as independent reading by an older child. Don't restrict your scope of history to just American history. These are what we consider the best world history books for this age group. If you have ever found history dull and humdrum, these books might just change that opinion!

    Note: Please do not consider this series a Providential view of history that recognizes God's hand in history. It is a history text that attempts to include all significant historical and cultural accounts. If you are a conservative Christian, you may want to opt out of a couple of activities. And where you find details with Biblical references that are inaccurate because of sparseness, use this opportunity to interject more of His Story. These minor issues are easily addressed and shouldn't keep you from this excellent program.

    So entertaining

    I love these books because they add much of the bible history in as you go along so it puts everything in a timeline that is relatable. SO good for all ages.

    Another win for The Story of the World series!

    My students continue to be enthralled by history as presented in The Story of the World. History is not for the faint of heart, but even so, there is so much wonder and joy to be found in its study, and The Story of the World, vol. 2 makes what can be a gruesome and dark time in human history interesting and accessible!

    Such a wonderful history curriculum

    I absolutely love The Story of the World bundles. They have such a great way to present the material and follow through with great additional activities. Some weeks we are able to do all of the hands on activities while other weeks we may have to pick and choose. I never feel like we lose anything for not getting them all done but definitely benefit from having them as additional reinforcement of the information.
