July 2022 Book Reports


Kristin Lavransdatter (The Wreath, The Wife, and The Cross) by Sigrid Undset, translated by Tiina Nunnally - link to my post (purchased copy)

The Genesis of Gender: A Christian Theory by Abigail Favale - link to my post (purchased copy)

One Thousand and One Arabian Nights by Geraldine McCaughrean - I wanted a substitute for a Robin Hood book in Level 3 of Mater Amabilis for Second Son, because he had read that one the year before. I found this one adaptation suggested on a number of websites and checked it out. I haven't read the original Arabian Nights, but this one is entertaining and suitable for children, if you can get past the slaughtering of so many wives before he gets to the storyteller. My son and I both enjoyed these stories. It was pretty easy for him to read and narrate a chapter at a time. (I read a library copy, but purchased one for my son.)
