-Plutarch's Lives (1 per term)

There is a copy available on Amazon listed as The Pilgrim's Progress: Both Parts and with the Origin Illustrations. The description says that the illustrations in this book are by Barnard and were engraved by the Dalziel Brothers.) *For lots of resources to be used with The Pilgrim's Progress, visit Ambleside Online's website.
