"Ten Boys Who Lived on the Road from Long Ago" by Jane Andrews is a fascinating book that takes readers on a journey through history. This book tells the stories of ten boys who lived in different times and places, showing how people lived and what life was like long ago. Each boy represents a different period in history, and through their adventures, readers can learn about the past in a fun and interesting way. The book starts with the story of a cave boy, who lived thousands of years ago when people had to hunt for food and make their own clothes from animal skins. As you read, you'll also meet a boy from ancient Egypt, who learns to write on papyrus, and a Greek boy, who grows up in a world full of myths and heroes. Each story is full of details that make you feel like you're right there with the characters, experiencing what they did. One of the most exciting parts of the book is how it shows that even though these boys lived a long time ago, they had some of the same thoughts and feelings that kids do today. They were curious, adventurous, and sometimes even scared, just like kids today. But they also had to deal with challenges that were unique to their time, like living in a castle during the Middle Ages or exploring new lands like Christopher Columbus. Jane Andrews wrote this book to help children understand history by telling stories that are easy to relate to. Instead of just listing facts and dates, she brings history to life through the eyes of these ten boys. By reading this book, young readers can learn about different periods in history and see how the world has changed over time. It's a great way to make history fun and engaging!

The Arthurian legend closes with a promise: On a distant day, when his country calls, the king will return. His lost realm will be regained, and his shattered dream of an ideal world will, at last, be realized. This collection of original essays explores the issue of return in the modern Arthurian legend. With an Introduction by noted scholar Raymond H. Thompson and 13 essays by authors from the fields of literature, art history, film history, and folklore, this collection reveals the flexibility of the legend. Just as the modern legend takes the form current to its generation, the myth of return generates a new legend with each telling. As these authors show, return can come in the form of a noble king or a Caribbean immigrant, with the mystery of an art theft or a dying boy's dream.
