Description
Humans have always looked to heroes. This volume pulls various heroes from ancient times to the 19th century, including the mythical (Hercules, Sir Arthur), the biblical (David and Daniel), the historic (Robert the Bruce, Lincoln), and the noble (Robin Hood and Robert E. Lee). We learn, as a result, that heroes have faults, but they are capable of sacrifice and accomplishing amazing deeds. This volume is a reprint of a 1906 compilation of twenty tales from other works of the time. Representative of its writing time, you'll see all male heroes here, with some smatterings of archaic words. Nevertheless, these stories will still provide lasting enjoyment and usefulness for the heroes in your home. 6"x 9", 379 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
