The French Revolution

While we work our way through our 6wk study of European Rediscovery of New Zealand we're also continuing on with Story of the World, Vol. 3 (at a lighter pace - audio C/s, maps and discussion) and our Sonlight Read Alouds.
Last week our SOTW topic was The French Revolution, an era of history that seems to generate a lot of interest in our home so we've gone back through favourite audio books:

~Les Miserable (audio - FOTF Radio Theatre)
~The Reign of Terror (audio - read by Jim Weiss)  This is Daisy's all time G.A Henty favourite.

I've added in another new, to Bobs and Daisy, audio book;
~A Tale of Two Cities (audio - abridged) for Daisy.  I don't like this version, it doesn't do the story justice.
~ A Tale of Two Cities (free audio - unabridged) for Bobs
Or here is a whispersync (free) kindle book & audio

Read a few books. For Daisy;
~A Tale of Two Cities (Usborne Reader)
~Redoubt the Man Who Painted Flowers This book influenced the background for Daisy's cut-n-craft to go with SOTW 3 Chapt 25, The French Revolution, & Marie Antoinette. Daisy has yet to colour the page in and glue Marie Antoinette on.
We've used pages 6 & 16 from this notebooking set ...... and here is the end result ☺ And for Bobs we're continuing to read aloud a new, to us, SL title;
~In Search of Honor 
While a very "good" book I enjoyed The Reign of Terror and Les Miserable more. (We have yet to enjoy listening to the unabridged version of Les Miserable - all 50 something hours of it - which we'll get to during our next cycle through world history).

ETA: For those looking for a free French Revolution Lapbook be sure to check out Have Fun -Live Life's blog spot and her daughter's fine creation: The French Revolution ~ Lapbook

ETAx2: We also enjoyed Karen Savage, at a slightly later date,  reading aloud The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Elusive Pimpernel , and, El dorado. To those unfamiliar with the story, it appears that the discord between Sir Percy & his wife will detract from the story - stick with it, as character and a committing love prevail.
Bobs didn't find it mushy or too romantic, which I thought he might.
