guidebook for all

Vividly and beautifully written, with which you can enter into history easily without having to remember those tiresome dates and names, and finally you'll be convinced,as Gombrich said, the significance of examining history lies in the persuit of intellect and wisdom itself. Besides, little history is very suitable for reading and actually it was first read to his fiancee by Gombrich himself before its publication. It's not just a guidebook for children, but for anyone.
PS:Little history presented by blackstone audio gives a enjoyable listening experience.
