About the Author

William J. Bennett served as Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President George H. W. Bush and as Secretary of Education and Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities under President Reagan. He holds a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy from Williams College, a doctorate in political philosophy from the University of Texas, and a law degree from Harvard. He is the author of such bestselling books as The Educated Child, The Death of Outrage, The Book of Virtues, and the two-volume series America: The Last Best Hope. Dr. Bennett is the host of the nationally syndicated radio show Bill Bennett's Morning in America. He is also the Washington Fellow of the Claremont Institute and a regular contributor to CNN. He, his wife, Elayne, and their two sons, John and Joseph, live in Maryland.

From AudioFile

Former U.S. drug czar and Secretary of Education Bill Bennett takes on the task of imparting an "American identity" to young people through myths, legends and biographies. He largely pulls it off. Bennett has obviously made a deliberate effort to represent America's multiethnic compositionÐtwo of the four readers are non-white, and more than half the selections are stories of women and minorities. John McMartin does a nice job reading "Paul Bunyan" and "Yankee Doodle." "Cosby" costar Phylicia Rashad reads four stories, including "Lewis and Clark" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Modern listeners may find the expressions of westward expansion outmoded and the presentation at times preachy. But the intended targetÐAmerica's youngÐwill find the stories enchanting and edifying.
