Carol in Cal. Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I'm reading it now for the first time. How did I miss this for so long??? One thing that is very clear to me, though, is that it has many, many allusions. I suspect that some of them are going over my head. Not that that is making the book any less entertaining, however! Does anyone know of an annotated version that points out and explains all of them? Honestly, I think this book needs to have a unit study. There should be background reading, fiction and nonfiction. The Bible, English social and political and military history, the Arthurian legends, Sir Gawain, The Fairy Queen, etc. There should be explanations! I love this book. I am either going to teach the heck out of it, or just shut DD into a room to read it and never talk about it at all. Either stance is reasonable, IMO.

Snickerdoodle Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 That was my favorite book of all time when I was young. I can't wait to share it with my kiddos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
