Isn't Amazon just so solicitous?
They're always thinking of me, always worried that I don't have enough to read, always looking out for my best interest. They're concerned about my kids and their reading lists, too.
They even -- diplomatically and oh-so-politely -- divert the dishonest soul who would steal my book-buying identity:
"If you're not Karen Edmisten, click here."
(I've never clicked there, as I'm sure a calamitous fate awaits the poor soul that dares to do so ....)
Recently, Mom-a-zon sent me the following recommendations:
Parables from Nature, by Mrs. Alfred Gatty
Fifty Famous Stories Retold, by James Baldwin
Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter, by Thomas Cahill
Bless My Child: A Catholic Mother's Prayer Book, by Julie Cragon
Gloryland, by the sublime Anonymous 4
Recommendations from you, fair reader? Warnings? Rave reviews?
Anyone? Anyone?

I'm late, and in another country, but I love Cahill's books in his "Hinges of History" series; sort of a "Story of the World" series for adults.
We like the Baldwin book, too, and you can take a look at Gutenberg and elsewhere on line to see if it's your cup of tea :)
So good to hear from you, Becky!
Atticus has really enjoyed what he's read of Cahill, too. I think he's only gotten to How the Irish Saved Civilization and The Gifts of the Jews so far.
Thanks for chiming in. I hadn't thought of looking at Gutenberg to see the Baldwin book!
