The Story of Mankind revolutionized former methods of telling history. It received the first Newbery Medal for the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. Nevertheless, critics and public alike hailed it as a book for all ages. Van Loon recounts history as living news, relating everything in the past to the present. He writes informally, making world history wonderfully alive and exciting.

Take it in Chunks
Revisado: 02-22-24
The writing is pretty good, but the book is too long. As a child, I would have gotten bored by the 20th chapter. I know it was written in the 1920's, but still. The subject matter is presented in an accessible way. All in all, it's a good read, but you may have to break it up in chunks.
