The Children's Plutarch

By F. J. Gould

Book Overview

In the 'Parallel Lives' of Plutarch, written in the first century A.D., Plutarch alternated between Greek and Roman biographies to show how both societies had produced worthy and honourable citizens. F. J. Gould, in his translation for children, decided it would be less confusing for his young readers if he divided the book into two halves, one volume on Greeks and the other on Romans. Here we have the Roman half, which re-tells the ancient tales of virtue and nobility from Romulus and Remus to Caesar and Brutus, bringing their lives and deeds to life in clear and simple prose. This carefully hand-edited volume reproduces the three original black and white illustrations by Walter Crane.
