This classic book is a collection of the lore that formed Western civilization and American culture in centuries past. Hear about a king who forgot to flip his hostess’s pancakes, a princess who defended a man from bloodthirsty warriors, a town full of wise fools who rescued their neighbors–and their own noses, a spider that saved a kingdom, and a cat that made its owner rich.

Glad you asked! Here’s the full list:
This audiobook would be a great resource for your Charlotte Mason or classical homeschool curriculum. It could be used for independent reading or a morning time treat for the whole family. Beginning readers could listen while following along with a printed copy for practice in silent reading.
Charlotte Mason curricula often include this book in reading lists for Form 1 (grades 1-3) since the stories provide a framework for understanding later history studies. But the vocabulary is suitable for older children as well, and the stories (especially as read by Nathan, with varying accents for the different characters) are appealing to all ages.
The short chapters are perfect for beginning students to narrate (retell) in any of these ways:
If your students listen to two stories a week they could finish within one school year. Or if you want to go at a slower pace with one per week (perhaps splitting the longer stories into two weeks), you could spread it out over two years.
Not all stories (e.g., Washington and the Cherry Tree) are historically accurate, and the book classifies more as literature than history. But its tales of Greece, Rome, medieval kingdoms, and founding fathers feed the moral imagination and help to fill the linguistic storehouse with treasures for later use. They also open the door for natural discussion of character qualities and how biblical principles might impact our decisions in similar situations.
