Book Overview

Our Young Folks' Plutarch is a collection of biographical sketches of famous figures from ancient Greece and Rome, written by the ancient Greek historian Plutarch and adapted for young readers. The book includes stories of well-known figures such as Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, and Cleopatra, as well as lesser-known figures such as Aristides the Just and Cato the Elder. Each chapter provides a brief overview of the subject's life, accomplishments, and character, as well as a moral lesson or two that can be learned from their experiences. The stories are written in an engaging style that is accessible to young readers, making it a great introduction to classical history and literature. The book was originally published in 1884 and has since become a classic in its own right, inspiring generations of young readers to learn more about the heroes and heroines of ancient times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
