I found The Golden Days of Greece by Olivia Coolidge at my library, and would like to read it to my 11 and 7 yr old boys. I'm really enjoying it, but wondering if it's factually reliable. I haven't found any reviews on it. But I see WTM recommends other books by Coolidge. Anyone know anything about this book?
TIA

Hi Vanessa. I have this book as well and plan to have my 5th grader read it next year when we cycle back to Ancients. Coolidge is a respected source on the ancients, and The Golden Days of Greece is recommended in the Truthquest History guide for Ancient Greece.
HTH.

Thanks so much for your response. That's just the confirmation I needed! I'll be starting with my boys today. Happy reading to you as well!
