About this listen

Studies have shown that developing an “atomic habit”—just doing a few minutes a day of whatever skill or habit you want to take on—can be more than enough to engrain it into our lives. Therefore, we have transformed timeless, legendary stories into 10-minute bite-size chunks long enough to entertain, enthrall, and even educate the listener but short enough to be enjoyed quickly at bedtime or any other point in our busy modern days.

  • Twenty adventures from Ancient Rome, beginning with its ancient foundation right through to the height of the Roman Republic.
  • Follow Aeneas’ epic voyage from Troy to fulfill his destiny, find a new home for his people, and set the wheels of fate in motion.
  • Witness the awe-inspiring bravery and audacity of Hannibal leading his army of elephants over the Alps.
  • Follow in the footsteps of Rome’s greatest generals: Scipio, Pompey, and Julius Caesar.
  • Bite-sized non-stop entertainment in just 10 minutes! Timeless classic stories for kids to enjoy, helping young ones learn while having fun.
  • Your perfect bedtime and travel companion—these short stories are excellent for you and your child to spend quality time together whenever and wherever you want!

And much more.
Some more gruesome or brutal details have been left aside, lying ready in the original meanings, and are 100 percent kid-friendly without losing their magical charm.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
