I'm pretty excited about all of these! I think that I'm equally interested in everything that I've chosen. I picked these out because they were either something that I was already interested in or something that I knew nothing about and wanted to learn more about. I think that there are many areas covered with this course, so I can't think of anything that it missed. I'm glad that there's a topic on women saints, I never would have expected that! I love biblical things for the purpose of history and such, so I'm glad that was included! I'm a big fan of all things King Arthur and Iliad related things, so I'm also particularly looking forward to those units! 

Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales (W. Heath Robinson)

I didn't end up choosing this as a reading selection because I have my own copy of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales at home! I read them a lot as a kid, so I'm incredibly familiar with his style of story telling. I did end up choosing this image because it looks whimsical and beautiful. I'm hoping to find other things that I will come to love in the other selections that I chose!
