We discover how at age seven boys leave home to live in company with 15 others, training to be Spartan soldiers through rigorous physical and mental exercises. In addition to wrestling, running, and throwing the discus, we watch them foraging for their food, gathering reeds for their bedding, singing patriotic songs, and eating at mess with their elders. Emphasis is on the true nobility and rugged simplicity of the Spartan character. Attractive black and white illustrations complement the text. Suitable for ages 8 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52181778727200,"sku":"NEW1599152843","price":23.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61FM5p2Rw-L.jpg?v=1786601962","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/our-little-spartan-cousin-of-long-ago-yesterdays-classics-1599152843","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
