Socialist Readings for Children
John Spargo
Play
Length 3 h
Chapters 12
First published 1909
A collection of readings designed more for youngsters aged 12 or older than for children, in my view. The presentation is idealistic and offers a fine view of the socialist messages being provided to the working class in the early decades of the 20th Century. - Summary by KevinS
