We discover how at age seven boys leave home to live in company with 15 others, training to be Spartan soldiers through rigorous physical and mental exercises. In addition to wrestling, running, and throwing the discus, we watch them foraging for their food, gathering reeds for their bedding, singing patriotic songs, and eating at mess with their elders. Emphasis is on the true nobility and rugged simplicity of the Spartan character. Attractive black and white illustrations complement the text. Suitable for ages 8 and up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Darrow Cowles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1599152843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781599152844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yesterday's Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Julia Darrow Cowles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043364696319,"sku":"9781599152844","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56c9e359-7275-4e22-a10c-308d4fc3a974.jpg?v=1684966734","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/our-little-spartan-cousin-of-julia-darrow-cowles-9781599152844","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
