And one special book, it didn’t start my obsession with Ancient Rome, as by the time I got it, I’d already started what would turn into a decade of Latin. This book did, however, take me from thinking about a future as just an English teacher or a librarian to wanting a future in history.
Oliphant, Margaret. The Atlas of the Ancient world: Charting the Great Civilizations of the Past.
Kay, I have had this book since you were 3 years old. In it is a note from my mother, as she gave it to me for Christmas of 1996. Dear Shannon, I hope this book brings you some wisdom from the past to help you build your future, With my love, Mom. Little did she know then, one BA and one MA in History later, I’d be using this book to research my….fanfic.
