The Threat Outside the Door

From Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child

From a review of of Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child

“Anthony Esolen mounts a crushing and delightful riposte to the whole array of theories on the rearing and education of children that preside in current American culture. Ironically, however, the note he strikes, far from sounding the sullen tone often marking the work of those who (justly) find themselves appalled at those doctrines, is joyous. Sprightly, lucid, exultant: such words touch on the spirit of the book.” — Thomas Howard
