This book contains Greek, Roman and other ancient legends of "mighty men" written for a young audience, teaching lessons about honor and sacrifice for the modern world. Plenty of "Mighty Women" in this book too: from Esther to Queen Sigrid. This book makes a great bedtime reading tool for parents with boys 4-12.

The stories in Mighty Men are not mere exploits scattered through history but are given in chronological order, thus affording a solid foundation for all the child's future knowledge of history." Book is divided into two parts - Part I, From Achilles to Julius Caesar, Part II, From Beowulf to William the Conqueror. Also includes an appendix - How to Pronounce the Names in this Book.
