Beyond the Walls Book Chat
J.R.R. Tolkien once said, "Fairy tales do not deny the existence of sorrow and failure; they give a fleeting glimpse of joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief."
This podcast is designed to take you on a journey beyond those walls to discover the joy, wisdom, and timeless lessons classic books offer. If you have a thirst for knowledge, a love for literature, and a desire to grow through the wisdom of authors long gone then this podcast is for you. Use these episodes to curate a personal reading list that enriches your mind and soul. Let's embark on a literary adventure together and find the joy that lies beyond the walls.

Can a heroine be an everyman? Using Dr. Leta Sundet's article from The Classical Teacher, tonight I evaluate the three books we've covered this season and decide whether our heroines, Anne, Lizzy, and Jane, can be called universal heroes.

NB: In the episode I mistakenly say Dr. Lena rather than Dr. Leta. My apologies.
