Get the ebook,
Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child, by Anthony Esolen,
free.
This appears to be a really good book. It is rated 4.6 (29) at Amazon and 4.23 (613) at GoodReads (4.23 is a really high rating at GoodReads).
The Great Homeschool Conventions webpage offering the ebook
free states that it is a $9.99 value. That might be on the conservative side, however, because I noticed that one store gave the retail price as $12.99. The least expensive copy at Amazon is a $9.57 paperback (Used--"Acceptable" condition). BTW--Amazon apparently does not offer a digital version at all.
The advertisement for the
freebie states that it is for Great Homeschool Conventions subscribers. Unfortunately, they do enforce that. But subscribing is not very difficult at all. I suggest that you do that by going to the
Great Homeschool Conventions homepage, scrolling down to the bottom on the lefthand side, and clicking on the link that says, "Subscribe to GHC."
Once you've done that, head to
this webpage, where you can request the book and learn much more about the book. An email message will appear in your inbox shortly after you've submitted your request, giving you direct links to mobi and ePub versions of the book. An html version is also offered, but you have to purchase it through a third party store, that they will give a link to, using a coupon code in order to get it
free.
People in the homeschooling crowd frequently are professing Christians, and they frequently bring in things, in the home teaching of their children, that are about their faith. So, there is a possibility that this book will have a religious overtone or even religious references and/or allusions in it.
