The Story Behind This Book
Mitchell Biesemeyer was inspired to write this story by one of his professors at the University of Oklahoma. "Dr. J. Rufus Fears was an exceptional professor who taught classes on freedom in Greece and Rome. His passion for history was infectious, and each of the stories he shared in class had valuable life lessons that are still relevant today. Dr. Fears' classes really fueled my desire to make these ancient stories accessible to the children of today."
