Book Six introduces the young reader to the progenitors of our Western literature-the stories of Greece and Rome. What education would be complete without a familiarity with the stories of the great heroes; Achilles, Ulysses, and Aeneas? Those stories can be found here along with stories of nature, home, and country by the likes of, John James Audubon, Robert Browning, Charles Dickens, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Felicia Hemans, Washington Irving, Joyce Kilmer, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Theodore Roosevelt, William Wordsworth, and many others. This volume ends with a section devoted entirely to "Great American Authors." At the end of this volume, the reader will find a substantial glossary including word pronunciation guides. These guides have been updated specially for this edition to reflect current pronunciation notation. Teacher's Guides are available for each book in this series.
