Historical Tales, Vol V: German

Description

The history of Germany has never before been addressed in such a thorough and elegant fashion as in the case of Charles Morris’ Historical Tales. The fifth volume of this comprehensive historical writing that includes stories and anecdotes for children and young adults is dedicated solely to Germany, introducing the first years of its past, from the initial contact with Rome, to the crowning of Emperor William.

While Morris’ approach to history is generally geared toward conveying information in a unique and exciting manner, these stories are made to be far more interesting and eventful than most of his writings. Titles such as The Career of Bishop Hatto, The Fortunes of Henry the Fourth and A Mad Emperor are designed to captivate children’s attention from the very start, presenting the country’s history as a series of exciting adventures bearing a fair amount of continuity between their stories.

Younger readers have been enjoying these tales for the past four generations, as Morris’ style and approach are quite objective and fast-paced, despite the obvious age of his Historical Tales. There are a total of no less than 32 fascinating tales to enjoy, each designed to be more interesting than the one before.

The interesting thing about Morris’ stories is that, while they definitely aren’t as boring and complicated as many other accounts of Germany’s history might be, they still provide an ample amount of information about the country’s development, military strategies, relationship with other lands, and many other issues that were considered pivotal in understanding Germany from a historical standpoint.

Whether you want a bit of light reading and are looking to brush up on European history in the process, or you get the book to help your children learn about Germany’s past in an all new and exciting way, Historical Tales Vol. 5 is without a doubt an excellent choice.
