History Of France
In Words Of One Syllable
par Helen W. Pierson
Lu par LibriVox Volunteers
This is a simplified history of the country of France, from Roman times to the late 19th century, written chiefly in words of one syllable. Books such as this one were popular around the turn of the 20th century as a way to help children learn to read. A book like this could also be useful for remedial readers and ESL learners as well. - Summary by mungojerry311

Easy History lessons
Lucy Bickley
If you want to learn more about the history of France but don't want to get too bogged down in the finer details, listen to this book for an easy-to-follow recap. The author tried to only use one-syllable words but clearly had to use multi-syllabic names! I can't even write this review only using monosyllabic words, so I can't imagine how long it took Helen W. Pierson to write her book!
