Publisher: Greenleaf Press
Author: John H. Haaren
A.B. Poland, Ph. D.

List Price: $16.95

Ages: 9-11 Years

Reviewed By: Larissa McKay

Revised, Edited & Updated by: Cynthia A. Shearer & Robert G. Shearer
Paperback, 8 1/2 x 11, perfect bound, approx. 150 pages
Originally published in 1904, these books returned to print in 1989.

Famous Men of Greece begins sharing history as a Greek would have shared it - by telling the most important stories about the gods and goddesses, as well as the primary Greek myths. While some Christians may question the need to learn pagan mythology, it's this mythology that most clearly reveals the Greeks themselves - who they were, what they held dear, and how they saw the world. After laying this foundation, the book continues with entertaining and memorable accounts of many who left their mark on this country. Even if you were to read this book for its own merit, independent of the Greenleaf curriculum, you would walk away with a much greater understanding of what we in the modern world owe to this ancient civilization.

The same holds true for Famous Men of Rome. It tells the story, in one interesting book, of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Like Famous Men of Greece, it is written at a level fourth or fifth graders would enjoy reading to themselves. Even so, these collections of biographical sketches will interest high school students and adults as well.

Both contain around 30 biographies. They sell individually for $16.95.
