An old-fashioned love story
When I was 13 years old, my mom handed me a cloth-bound book with what I thought was the corniest title ever. After some reluctance and my mother's urging (I believe she used the words "favorite book"), I finally started reading. I could not put it down. To this day, many years later, I haven't ever come across a more readable biography. For historical accuracy, Major even throws in some text ...

A great book on history without being a history book
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I usually hate history books. It describes all the details of the characters and the time period and really made me feel like I was there, too. I have hated history ever since it was required in college, but this story and the detailed characters have made me long to understand more of the actions of the people involved and I'm now voluntarily going to look ...

Bears of Blue River - Favorite Book
In 1953 I started first-grade in southern Indiana. My teacher, Pearl Monroe, read Charles Major's 1900 Bears of Blue River to us. She, also, read it to my father in a one-room school house. It was my favorite book. There was one sad part in the book where Mrs. Monroe always cried. She would have an older student finish the chapter. In about 1980, I read it to my kindergarten age son. I also cried ...

When Knighthood Was In Flower

1 review, 2008

A Love Story From the 1500s
This book was one of romance, drama, humor, and adventure all mixed together. It was mostly romance. Mary Tudor, sister to King Henry VIII, meets and falls in love with Charles Brandon, captain of the king's guard. He loves her too, but they try to keep apart because they think their love will just cause pain for both of them. (Royalty did not normally wed commoners back then.) But through a ...
