The best of Jim Weiss's stories and biographies from Medieval History. Bundled with Story of the World, vol. 2, or on its own, this collection is sure to delight and educate young and old.

Young listeners will discover new worlds with Galileo and Maimonides, bring stone to life with Michelangelo, defy the swords and cannons of a mighty empire with Queen Elizabeth, and more.

Includes nearly five hours of listening enjoyment across four CDs:

Galileo and the Stargazers

Masters of the Renaissance

The Queen’s Pirate

Swordsmen, Saints, and Scholars

Ages 7 and up.

In 1989, Jim Weiss set out on a mission: to record the greatest stories he knew from world literature and history, and inspire families -- especially young listeners -- with a passionate love of the original classics. In the three decades since then, Jim's narration voice and seemingly numberless character voices have formed foundational entertainment and education for millions of listeners around the world.Winning hundreds of awards, Jim’s recordings range on the literary side from fairy tales through stories from Shakespeare, Dickens and Conan Doyle, while his history recordings bring to vivid life major historical events and personalities from the ancient world through the twentieth century.The inspiration for all this began early, with parents and grandparents who told stories and read aloud to him, skills which Jim joyously acquired, and which led him to a degree in Communications and Speech from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Later, his wife, Randy, earned her own national awards as a teacher and counselor, and their shared passion for learning led to forming their company in 1989, long before the explosion of spoken word recordings made this a "sensible" decision. The recordings began winning listeners and national awards from the first. A few years ago, the Weiss's licensed their recordings and business operations to Well-Trained Mind Press, which has successfully introduced Jim's work into still more markets, while Jim continues to write, record, teach and perform.
