What is History Quest: Early Times?

History Quest: Early Times is a secular homeschool history chapter book focusing on the years between the Paleolithic period through the 8th century CE. Because it is secular, the text presents religious beliefs from that period not as factual accounts, but as relevant sources and perspectives to be considered through a historical lens.

Perfect for elementary-age children or as a journey of exciting adventures to be shared during family story time, the main text presents an immersive study of history in an engaging and memorable format.

Used alongside the History Quest: Early Times Study Guide and other recommended resources, students will gain a deep understanding of the ideas, events, and individuals that shaped early civilizations in the ancient world and take their first step in a life-long quest to explore and appreciate history.
