About Books for Learning
Beginnings...
Following university studies in Classics and classical languages, Greek philosophy and Teaching, Ralph Mason taught primary children for a decade before starting Books for Learning in 2006. Books for Learning has its home in the leafy hills of Diamond Valley, northeast of Melbourne, Australia.
Why Books for Learning?
Books for Learning arose to provide quality texts for young learners.
The main focus at present is on developing a comprehensive, readily accessible library of classic literary works prepared specifically for children. Access to the language, themes and insights of the greatest classics contributes to a rich education—a knowledge of the characters, events and motifs that have helped to shape the course of human consciousness. For adults there are the Everyman’s Library, the Loeb Classical Library, Britannica’s Great Books of the Western World and so on. The Children’s Classical Library aims to be a similar treasury of the world’s best—but annotated and edited, adapted or retold for children.
