Some of the best history texts we've discovered over the years are not best-selling history books at all. Here's a series I highly recommend. My son loves the richly detailed historical narratives in each era and shares them with me. The most important thing is, he actually remembers the juicy details long afterwards. Now, how many history books can do that?
George Washington's World by Genevieve Foster and Joanna Foster
The World of Columbus and Sons by Genevieve Foster
Augustus Caesar's World by Genevieve Foster
Apparently, she's written two dozen other books like these. If they are as good as the ones we've read so far, I think I'd go and buy up all of them.

I think we are reading Augustus right now. I love the detail.
