Our Young Folks' Plutarch

by Rosalie Kaufman

This book presents adapted versions of Plutarch's Lives, a collection of biographies of famous Greek and Roman men, written around 100 AD. Rosalie Kaufman simplifies the original text, making it accessible to younger readers. The focus is on the lives and characters of these individuals, rather than a detailed historical account. Anecdotes, short sayings, and interactions are used to provide insights into their personalities and actions, highlighting the moral lessons that can be learned from their lives.
