The Story of Mankind, a history of the world especially for children. Beautifully written, it won a prize for literature, the first Newbery Medal in 1922. Anyone who can chronicle world history from 500,000 B.C. to present times, and do so in a lively, entertaining style, deserves a medal. The warm, personable tone of Hendrik Willem van Loon's writing lends itself to true learning in a way that stern, dry textbooks never do.He also wrote Ancient Man, which tells the story of man from the beginning of prehistoric times until the end of the ancient world. This too, although it never won a prize, is a truly great children's book!ContentsAncient Man:Prehistoric ManThe World Grows ColdThe Earliest HumansThe Key Of StoneThe Land Of The Living And The DeadThe Making Of A StateThe Rise And Fall Of EgyptMesopotamiaThe SumeriansAssyria And BabyloniaThe Story Of MosesJerusalemDamascus, The City Of TradeThe Phoenician SailorsThe Alphabet Follows TradeThe End Of The Ancient WorldDates Connected With The Ancient WorldOnce upon a time there was a man.
