As Martial anxiously searches the crowded streets, he learns a good deal about the people, places, and customs of his native city.

      Author Getzinger and Terence Aselford skillfully take young listeners to ancient Rome, where they meet two young brothers. As Martial journeys through the Roman streets to give Hershal, his courier brother, something he left behind, he sees the Colosseum, the Forum, and other famous sights. Sharing his observations, listeners learn many valuable lessons about this fascinating time and place. Aselford's matter-of-fact delivery conveys a great deal of information in an easy-to-understand manner. This splendid series will interest all ages. S.G.B. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
