Dear Fellow American,
Recently, I read about a Massachusetts high school teacher who posted on
social media that she’s: “Very proud to say we got theOdyssey removed from the
curriculum this year!”
Homer and the legendary Odysseus are just the latest casualties in a
systematic purge of classic literature and stories from school curriculums.
These cancelations rob our young of classic tales of adventure and friendship,
where young people can learn timeless truths about the world and how best to
live—something many Americans cannot agree on in the first place.
Books like these are rare, and the best of them are revised, ignored, or
removed in most of today’s schools.
In response, Hillsdale College launched a new free online course entitled
“Classic Children’s Literature.” Perhaps you’ve had a chance to watch a few
lectures.

Today, I’m excited to tell you that the course is now available on DVD! And
you can reserve your copy today.
The box-set is an excellent gift for parents, homeschool families, and anyone
who cherishes an exciting and profound story.
“Classic Children’s Literature” explores some of the greatest works of
children’s literature from Aesop and the classic fairy tale stories through the
works of A.A. Milne, Robert Louis Stevenson, and more.
In this course, you’ll learn how these great books delight audiences of all
ages, produce a sense of wonder, and teach timeless lessons to the young and
old alike.
The DVD box-set includes lessons on Beauty and the Beast, The Snow Queen,
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Treasure Island, and more.
This course has brought great joy to my family, as it has inspired us to read
through the classic works covered in this course together. I hope you can share
this same experience with your loved ones as you learn more about what makes
these beloved stories so important.
You can get your DVD box-set of “Classic Children’s Literature” by making a
tax-deductible gift of $100 to Hillsdale College using this secure link:

Thank you again for your support of Hillsdale College and for partnering with
us to educate our fellow citizens, especially our youngest citizens.
Without you, Hillsdale could not offer these courses free of charge to any
person willing to learn.
