About this title

Synopsis

Literary habits naturally give way to literary affections. Once upon a time, a carpenter entered a forest and happened upon a wolf wearing a feathered cap. Quick whose side are you on? If you don't know, we suggest reading a hearty round of fairytales.

Stories provide a roadmap for life. This is because stories are life. But oftentimes it's easiest to understand where we are when we can look through other eyes -from the perspective of someone else, living somewhere else, somewhen else. The Book Tree is a list of books to explore and try out on your children. This list focuses on books that are well-written, reader friendly, ethical, visually appealing, and accessible.

For those beginning to read for the first time or those beginning to read again, The Book Tree will drop golden apples in your lap, until you can climb high enough to pick for yourself.

About the Author

The authors are a mother-daughter team. 

Elizabeth McCallum Marlow (M.A. English, University of Houston) has taught English literature for thirty-five years at the high school and college level. Elizabeth conducts seminars for teachers and parents on various subjects relating to literature and the English curriculum. She is currently writing a series of five textbooks entitled Teaching and Understanding Classical Literature designed to help English teachers and home school mothers teach literature. The manuscript covers teaching techniques and material for classroom settings for grades 9, 10, 11, 12, and AP Literature. The intended audience includes public and private school teachers, home schoolers, and anyone else interested in a review of classical literature. It is detailed enough that it could be incorporated in a college literature circulum. 

Jane Scott (B.A. English, Covenant College) currently works as independent writer and editorial consultant.
