Winner of the first John Newberry Medal, Hendrik Willem van Loon s
The Story of Mankind, originally written for the author s
grandchildren, has charmed generations with its warmth and wisdom.
Beginning with the origins of human life and sweeping forward to
illuminate all of history, van Loon s incomparable prose and
illustrations presented a lively rendering of the people and events
that have shaped world history. This new edition, updated by
best-selling historian Robert Sullivan, continues van Loon s
personable style and incorporates the most important developments
of the early twenty-first century, including the war on terrorism,
global warming, and the explosion of social media. The result
remains extremely valid in broad outline if not detail and, as
ever, a grand and thought-provoking read (Kirkus Reviews)."
