-------------------------------
HISTORY
-------------------------------
$10 - Book of the Centuries, by Small Ventures, for grades 3+. The Fall and The Flood are filled in. The rest is still blank. Spiral bound. Originally about $30.
-------------------------------
ANCIENTS & OLD TESTAMENT
-------------------------------
$3 Jonah & the Whale, retold by Catherine Storr, Pictures by Bary Wilkinson - illustrator often recommended by MFW but not sure if this particular one was listed. Has a 1997 dedication on inside page.
$3 VHS - Jonah: Veggie Tales movie. We always enjoy watching videos after we read the Bible, and comparing how accurate the story is, discussing how they chose to present the story, etc.
$3 VHS - Dave and the Giant Pickle: Veggie Tales movie. We always enjoy watching videos after we read the Bible, and comparing how accurate the story is, discussing how they chose to present the story, etc.
$2.50 - The Trojan Horse, how the Greeks won the war. Softcover, quite used but intact. (used in MFW)
---------------------
MEDIEVAL / ROME TO REFORMATION:
---------------------
Books for general reading or extra book basket
$3 cassette: Beethoven Lives Upstairs
$3 softcover book: Beethoven Lives Upstairs
$2.50 Starting Chess, Usborne First Skills. This looks different than the one MFW sells, & we had it before we got RTR, but the pages do match up.
$3 Chess Kids, World's Top Young Players, 1996 George Sidney Independent Film Competition Award. Just fun to watch serious modern international kids playing the game while we studied its history.
$1 cassette - Chant, The Masterpiece Collection. (This is not the Benedictine Monks version mentioned by MFW, but it is the same sort of thing & has an illuminated manuscript on the cover.)
$8 (heavy) The Book of Virtues, paperback, over 800 pages, on the MFW book basket list a few times. 0684835770
$3 Sir Cumference and the First Round Table, ppr
$2 Crusade of the Flaming Sword, The Hardy Boys #131
$2 King Arthur, Troll Illustrated Classics version of Howard Pyle's book, 8x11 paperback, 081671214X
$1 Knights of the Kitchen Table, The Time Warp Trio #1
$4 The Ultimate Castle & Knight Sticker Book, Over 60 reusable full-color stickers, by DK. New.
$3 Joan of Arc, Landmark Books paperback chapter book
$2 Joan of Arc, Step into reading step 4, by Shana Corey.
$3 The Agony and the Ecstasy, VHS with Charlton Heston & Rex Harrison. Very old VHS but still works. About Michaelangelo & the Pope/painting the ceiling.
$12 - ABeka Pilgrim's Progress Simplified, grade 3 reading level (or a little higher in my opinion). There are color drawings, tho not as exciting as MFW's Dangerous Journey, but there is also vocabulary & Bible references. 3rd edition, 1997, 42641003 (new 9.95)
Plus Teacher Edition, which includes the full book as well as teacher section, 56332003 (new $17.50)
$5 The Pilgrim's Progress, full version by Baker Book House. Includes margin notes with new character names, Bible references, etc. It is considered large print, though it doesn't really look large. Rod & Staff Bookstore sticker ($9.85)
$5 The Medieval Reader, by Norman F. Cantor. First-hand accounts of the Middle Ages including letters, essays, state and church documents, poetry and ballads. For high school. Requires being able to sift for truth.
----------HENTY books------------
(Not mentioned in RTR but many people enjoy these as read-alouds or older readers.)
$10 - In Freedom's Cause, by Henty, hardcover from Preston Speed Publications. I think about 1300 A.D.
$5 - The Boy Knight, by Henty, spiral bound printout from Robinson Curriculum. I believe these were non-copyrighted older books. They look just like the pages in the hardcover, with plenty of white space for notes. After reading the first half, you turn the printout over & read the 2nd half. I purchased at a used curriculum sale & we didn't get to this.
$5 A unit study guide for G.A. Henty's "By Pike & Dike," NEW. View at ExodusBooks. (The novel is available free online) I used another of their guides & thought it was just the right amount.
