Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,778
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Epic Stories for Kids of All Ages
Children and adults alike will enjoy these stories from ancient Rome. Full of heroes such as Aenas and the legendary "R" twins whose names I'm not sure how to spell.

This audiobook really helped the time pass faster on our road trip.

Genius approach to making ancient history digestible! Breaking down Rome's legendary stories into 10-minute segments turns what could be overwhelming into something you can actually stick with. The concept of building an "atomic habit" with these bite-sized chunks really works for absorbing these epic tales about history's mightiest empire builders.

Not just for kids!
I grabbed this audiobook to give my kids a quick dose of history before bedtime, but honestly, I think I've become the biggest fan! These stories are the perfect length for my morning commute, turning traffic time into ‘me-time’ with a splash of ancient adventure. Each tale, from Aeneas’ epic journey to Hannibal’s audacious alpine expedition, is a rapid ride through history that’s just as thrilling as my first coffee of the day (or more!) So, not only are the kids getting a neat peek into the past, but I've also spiced up my drives with tales of glory and conquest. Who knew a history lesson could be this fun and functional?
