Unlike Volumes I and II, Volume III has been separated by the publisher into two beautiful books! The Student Reader now contains 84 lessons in a colorful, easy to hold hardback. The reader is a stand-alone world history text for all ages to enjoy. But for those wanting a full study of the time period, you will want to consider The Mystery of History Volume III Companion Guide: Curriculum and Student Activities.

This guide book (as a paperback or CD) will contain these familiar and popular components of The Mystery of History series: Pretests; Hands-on/Research Activities for Younger, Middle, and Older Students; Memory Card ideas; bi-weekly quizzes and exercises; timeline helps; maps; supplemental book lists; and more. (Though it is recommended that Volumes I and II be studied prior to this volume, it is not necessary.)

Last, you may also choose to listen to the stories of Volume III through an Audio Book that I personally narrate. With text in hand, you can read along with me. Without the text, you can relax, listen, take notes, or color while I speak directly to you and your family.  Beautifully mixed background music adds life, drama, and more meaning to these timeless historical lessons. (Tracks without music are also available!) In the car, over lunch, before bed, or as an integral part of your school day – you can journey through the Renaissance and Reformation at your own pace. (This audio set contains story lessons only and does not include pretests, activities, quizzes, exercises or similar items.)
