- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My children and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this production while learning all about the Ancient World!
The narration, sound effects and production is great! Exciting and engaging!
Looking forward to Volume 2. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It is a brief history as it states. It is also intended for children because it explains the meanings of simple words. The unfortunate additions are the dramatisations. They are absolutely auful. The dialog is absolutely auful.
