Children of Ancient Rome

Step into the radiant world of ancient Greece, where the pursuit of wisdom and the strength of the athlete shape the lives of children in every city-state. Through a series of beautifully woven stories, young readers meet boys and girls who learn courage, diligence, and reverence as they take their place within a rich and ordered world. Whether reciting the epic verses of Homer, training in the olive groves for the great games, or witnessing the architectural marvels of the Parthenon rise, each child discovers the meaning of responsibility and the quiet strength found in faithful work. Louise Lamprey blends historical accuracy with gentle storytelling to illuminate a civilization devoted to learning, beauty, and the steady pursuit of harmony. Children of Ancient Greece invites readers to walk beside these children of the Aegean-growing in wisdom as they encounter the challenges and enduring values of a remarkable ancient culture.
