Great news for us homeschoolers.
There were Anglo-Catholic Paul Johnson's books out there. But they'd probably be a bit much for some high schoolers.
When I look back on all the crap I learned in high school...

Why? Because it was filled with stories of men seeking truth. Men such as St. Thomas Aquinas, Emperor Charlemagne and Robin Hood. Robin Hood??!!!
Other than that, the series sounds great; I hadn't heard of it, but it's a wonderful idea. Hard to believe, too, there's a school history text that can actually used as a writing m odel.

My youngest daughter had the "benefit" of seventeen years of Catholic education and knew nothing about the saints. I remember the blank look she gave me when I mentioned St. Bernadette of Lourdes. That's when the light began to dawn that the Catholic education she was receiving bore no resemblance to what I had received.
