The Lord of The Silver Bow

They may might not be the most engaging stories for young children in the technocratic age, but not so long ago, some people thought Greek Myths were important to be translated to something palatable for children. This episode plays "The Lord of The Silver Bow", a re-telling of the Trojan war. The Secret Kindergarten wants to shine a light on people who spent their time and energy to create better resources for children. The person in this case is late author James Baldwin. We look back to move forward. From https://fairytalez.com/author/james-baldwin/: "Born in 1841 in Indiana, James Baldwin was an author, editor and educator. Baldwin was passionate about education and began his career as a teacher before moving on to superintendent. His experience in the school system led to positions as an editor of school books, however, he soon began authoring books himself. Baldwin liked to take complex texts such as the Greek myths and Norse legends, then break them down into simple language for young readers. He published over 50 books in his lifetime, including the texts Old Greek Stories, The Story of Seigfried and even fairy readers, collections of fairy tales. Baldwin passed away in 1925." I hope that Fairytales and myths, revived, awakens something in all of us that drives us toward freedom.BooksBash, Barbara. (1990).
