In this exciting story for middle-school readers,<br />

a young slave Milon begins his adventures in<br />

Athens on a ship bound for Italy. He narrowly<br />

escapes with his life in Pompeii as the great<br />

volcano Vesuvius erupts and destroys the town;<br />

he experiences the colorful life of the metropolis<br />

of Alexandria in Egypt; and he faces a battle for<br />

life and death in the Coliseum in Rome.<br />

When he meets a small community of Christians<br />

in Rome, he finally gains his freedom and<br />

finds his purpose in life. At the center of the<br />

story is Milon’s relationship with a wounded<br />

lion that he bravely helps.<br />

This classic story presents the world of the early<br />

Christians in a historical context. It is ideal for<br />

use in Waldorf class 6 (ages 11-12).<br />

Jakob Streit grew up in Spiez, Switzerland. He studied<br />

Enter a world of duels and jousting, feasts and<br />

pageants, where knights meet in fellowship at<br />

Camelot. Honor and chivalry are valued above<br />

all else, and courageous knights fight strange,<br />

unearthly foes to prove themselves worthy of a<br />

place at King Arthur’s table.<br />

These ancient tales have been told since the<br />

fifth century, when Welsh bards traveled the<br />

countryside entertaining lords and ladies with<br />

stories and songs.<br />

Legends of King Arthur was previously published<br />

by Lanthorn Press as Tales the Harper Sang:<br />

Medieval Stories. (Ages 9-12)<br />

Isabel Wyatt (1901-1992) was born in England and<br />

spent many years teaching young children. Until her<br />

retirement in 1965, she was codirector of studies at<br />

Hawkwood College, Gloucestershire (See her other<br />

storybook collections on p. 26).<br />

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is one of the<br />

great classics of English Literature, considered<br />

by many to be the greatest ballad ever written<br />

in English. Composed at the end of the 18th<br />

century by Coleridge, its unique<br />

qualities have continued to capture<br />

the imagination of readers and artists<br />

throughout the ages. The creation of<br />

the 30 illustrations in this book by<br />

Sophia Montefiore was impelled by an<br />

abiding fascination with Coleridge’s<br />

perspectives into the world of the soul<br />

and the elemental powers of nature.<br />
