Book I in The Story of the World series by M. B. Synge, "On the Shores of the Great Sea," explores the civilizations around the Mediterranean from Abraham to Christ's birth. It offers brief histories of the Ancient Israelites, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Scythians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, culminating in Rome's conquest of the Mediterranean. The book also recounts important myths and legends predating recorded history. It is suitable for children ages 9 and up for independent reading and for younger children, as young as 6, for read-aloud sessions. The series consists of five volumes, written at a middle school reading level, covering significant events in Western Civilization from the earliest recorded history to the late nineteenth century. Each volume contains around fifty short chapters that weave together stories of key individuals involved in historical events. While the narrative prominently features statesmen and military leaders, it also highlights explorers, scientists, artists, authors, and religious figures. The author employs an engaging writing style, often using dialogue to enliven scenes and connecting concurrent events in different parts of the world, reminiscent of Genevieve Foster's works. This series serves as an excellent introduction to world history for both adults and children.
