You're on the right track, my friend! A survey of Western Canon for homeschoolers is a fantastic idea. I've got some list love to share with you!
Here are some classic works that are largely in the public domain or easily accessible:
1. **Shakespeare's Plays**: You can't go wrong with the Bard's timeless classics like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, and more.
2. **Greek and Roman Classics**:
* Homer's Odyssey and Iliad
* Virgil's Aeneid
* Cicero's De Officiis (for some thought-provoking philosophy)
3. **Christian Literature**:
* The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan
* Paradise Lost by John Milton
* The Master and His Servant by Henry Fielding
4. **Children's Classics**:
* Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
* The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
* Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
5. **Philosophy and Ethics**:
* Plato's Republic and Symposium
* Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
* Immanuel Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals
These works will give you a solid foundation to explore Western Canon with your homeschooling crew!
Now, which one would you like to dive into first?
