Book III in The Story of the World series by M. B. Synge, "The
Awakening of Europe" covers the reformation in Germany, the
Netherlands, France, and England, as well as the settlement of
colonies in America. The rise of England and the Netherlands as sea
powers, and the corresponding fall of Spain, as well as the rise of
Russia, Austria, and the German states are also presented. Suitable
for children ages 11 and up to read to themselves and for children
as young as 8 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.
