About this listen
Treat your kids to these quick 10-minute action-packed legends from Ancient Rome!
Studies have shown that developing an “atomic habit”—just doing a few minutes a day of whatever skill or habit you want to take on—can be more than enough to engrain it into our lives. Therefore, we have transformed timeless, legendary stories into 10-minute bite-size chunks long enough to entertain, enthrall, and even educate the listener but short enough to be enjoyed quickly at bedtime or any other point in our busy modern days.
- Twenty adventures from Ancient Rome, beginning with its ancient foundation right through to the height of the Roman Republic.
- Follow Aeneas’ epic voyage from Troy to fulfill his destiny, find a new home for his people, and set the wheels of fate in motion.
- Witness the awe-inspiring bravery and audacity of Hannibal leading his army of elephants over the Alps.
- Follow in the footsteps of Rome’s greatest generals: Scipio, Pompey, and Julius Caesar.
- Bite-sized non-stop entertainment in just 10 minutes! Timeless classic stories for kids to enjoy, helping young ones learn while having fun.
- Your perfect bedtime and travel companion—these short stories are excellent for you and your child to spend quality time together whenever and wherever you want!
And much more.
Some more gruesome or brutal details have been left aside, lying ready in the original meanings, and are 100 percent kid-friendly without losing their magical charm.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world.

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. My personal favorite story was the Burning Ships and the Golden Bough, but they're all memorable. Plus, your purchase of this audiobook includes a bonus PDF of the entire book, which adds so much value and allows you to read your favorite stories aloud to your kids yourself if you want. This audiobook really helped the time pass faster on our road trip.

History in Perfect Bites
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. While some stories might benefit from a bit more context, the quick-hit format keeps things moving and interesting. Perfect for squeezing some ancient wisdom into a busy schedule.

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?
