Our first book of 2025, Adventurous Author Biographies: Volume II, has been published and is available on Amazon.com and right here on ARTK12!
This volume is for your younger students (grades 1-7), although older students may enjoy it too. There are 20 stories in this volume. Many are biographies, but some explore the stories that have no specific authors like The Epic of Gilgamesh or Jack and the Beanstalk.
On these adventures students will meet Sherlock Holmes, the Minotaur, Poseidon, Jacks, Giants, Fairies, Professor Who, Dr. Stingerroo, Odysseus, the Sirens, Don Quixote, Sancho Panza, Gilgamesh, Enkidu and many others all for a price far less than a ticket to an amusement park.
Two stories introduce students to Professor Higginbottom, the Literary Mouse and The World of Literature and my guide there, Iris. Like the first volume there is also a time machine, though I don’t use it as much in this book as in the other because the Professor and Iris keep me rather busy in their worlds.
Students will learn about and/or meet these authors:
- Beatrix Potter
- Aesop
- George MacDonald
- Rudyard Kipling
- Frederick Douglass
- Homer
- Oscar Wilde
- George Orwell
- William Shakespeare
- Aeschylus
