My mother was a reader. I grew up observing her absorbed in one book after another, whether purchased or borrowed from the library. On one particular Christmas, I was thrilled when I saw a stack of neatly wrapped packages, which were clearly books: “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey,” and a collection of Greek myths. I was also a fan of the Nancy Drew detective series.

Wonder. Mystery. History. Discovery.
