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.
