Long ago in Russia, a proclamation went out through all the land that whosoever could build a flying ship would win the hand of the Tsar's daughter. But when a country bumpkin and his oddball crew of extraordinary friends show up to claim her, the Tsar quickly has second thoughts. Robin Williams is hilarious as he narrates this retelling of a fantastical Russian folktale.

This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

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.

Our family listens to this book each year to prepare for Thanksgiving. The story of Squanto reaches down far into the heart to make us see great things from a small beginning.

Stories for the ears
This story is one of the weaker of the series. Rabbit Ears does a great job normally, but the music was overpowering and the story is a bit weak.
That being said thus is still a good way to introduce children to great stories that are short and meaningful.

AT LAST! THE OTHER SIDE OF THANKSGIVING STORY.
Any additional comments?
A fan of Graham Greene since "Dances With Wolves", who leaves behind his quirky humor in this story, and gives a feeling reading, I also am thankful to the author, Mr. Metaxes, who did such a nice job telling what it was like to be an Indian/First People before the Pilgrims landed, and how Squanto, after being unwillingly captured, taken to Spain and finally returned, made an extraordinary coincidence by meeting up with the first Pilgrims, speaking English. The dinner
sounded authentic, and delicious. Would I so love to include lobster and mussels at this historical dinner! But, at least I can add succotash, another dish that ran true for the time because Indians
did grow the "THree Sisters": corn, beans and squash.
I took off just one star for the music, which at times was irritating and invasive, not really adding to
or enhancing the mood.
This is a family story,worthwhile for both children and adults.

Difficult to understand narrator
This is the first Rabbit Ears story that we cannot give five stars. The background music was too loud and the narrator was too soft-spoken. Also, only the last few minutes of the story were dedicated to the First Thanksgiving. We would have preferred to hear more about that.

Very Enjoyable Listening
I, at first, thought that the actor, Graham Greene, was the same as the author Graham Greene... After a bit of researching, they are, or rather were, two separate people. The author passed away in 1991. My preference is the Canadian First Nations Actor... and I could listen and/or watch that Graham Greene forever!!! As the title of this review suggests, this was a very enjoyable listening experience. I just wish it had been much longer!!!

Audio mix (narration over music) makes comprehension difficult
My primary issue with this book is about the audio mix. The narrator’s voice is low in pitch, and I had to struggle to understand the words because the accompanying music was too loud. The difference in average pitch between the voice and music exacerbated this issue. My 5-year-old gave similar (though less precise) feedback. I used several different speakers, and on some I could barely parse the story.
The story is otherwise fine; keep in mind age appropriateness and always have discussions with your child(ren) about historical context, e.g. what is different and what is the same 350 years later (in US and in other parts of the world), etc.
