Jacob Abbott’s Romulus brings to life the legendary founder of Rome — the infant abandoned on the Tiber, suckled by a she-wolf, and destined to build one of history’s greatest cities. Part of Abbott’s celebrated Makers of History series, this volume blends the mythological traditions of early Rome with a storyteller’s gift for vivid narrative and moral clarity.
Abbott was one of the nineteenth century’s most gifted popularisers of history and legend, and Romulus shows him at his engaging best. This free EPUB is cleanly formatted and ready for any e-reader.
