Book I in The Story of the World series, by M. B. Synge, "On the
Shores of the Great Sea" focuses on the civilizations surrounding
the Mediterranean Sea from the time of Abraham to the birth of
Christ. Brief histories of the Ancient Israelites, Phoenicians,
Egyptians, Scythians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans are given,
concluding with the conquest of the entire Mediterranean area by
Rome. Important myths and legends that preceded recorded history
are also related. Suitable for children ages 9 and up to read to
themselves and for children as young as 6 as a read-aloud. The
Story of the World series, by M. B. Synge, comprises a set of five
volumes, written at a middle school reading level, that cover all
major events in the history of Western Civilization, from earliest
recorded history to the close of the nineteenth century. With fifty
or so short chapters in each volume, the series links the great
eras in time and place together by a chain of stories of
individuals who played principal parts in the events related. While
statesmen and military commanders figure heavily in the narrative,
stories of explorers, scientists, artists, authors, and religious
figures are also presented. The author writes in an engaging
fashion, using dialog frequently to bring scenes to life. She
juxtaposes events happening at the same time in different parts of
the world in a style reminiscent of the books of Genevieve Foster.
This series is an excellent introduction to world history for adult
readers as well as for children.
