As I am guiding my children through a neo-classical education, I am enjoying reading books that I never encountered in all my years of high school, college, and graduate school. This week's selection is a retelling of three Greek fairy tales: Perseus, Jason and the Argonauts, and Theseus. It was written for young adults by Charles Kingsley (an English historian, professor, and writer) and was first published in 1856.
A full online version of this book is available here.
I'll be writing more about our family's decision to pursue a classical education in future weeks.
