520    Join award-winning author Mitali Perkins as she explores 
       the promise of seven timeless children's novels for adults
       living in uncertain times. Through works by Louisa May 
       Alcott, C. S. Lewis, L. M. Montgomery, Frances Hodgson 
       Burnett, and other literary uncles and aunts, Perkins 
       unpacks wisdom to help us thrive. 
520    The stories we read as children shape us for the rest of 
       our lives-- but it's never too late to discover that 
       transformative spark of hope that children's classics can 
       ignite within us. Perkins invites us to explore the 
       promise of seven timeless children's novels, and shows how
       they provide mirrors to our innermost selves, and open 
       windows to other world. She shows that reading (or re-
       reading) these books as adults can help us build virtue, 
       unmask our vices, and restore our hope. -- Adapted from
