Classical virtue has been lost. Courage, valor, trust, and friendship seem to be things of the past, of a different age and era.

Real life truth and goodness was communicated powerfully through fantastical fiction. Louis Markos takes us back to that day and that reality. Through the iconic works of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis we are reintroduced to classic virtues, both good and bad. Markos shows the reader how powerful stories and their characters act as teachers and examples of what to be and not to be in real life. Rediscover the power of stories and the importance of virtue through this beautiful work.
