In Anthony Esolen's book Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child, Esolen takes a 'Screwtape-style' approach to explaining the ways the modern society has inadvertently (or perhaps intentionally) been geared towards reducing childhood and blunting imagination. Difff and James discuss this brilliant book by considering how to revitalise our vision of childhood by questioning some of the taken-for-granted assumptions that seem to proliferate in schools and society.Please consider becoming a founding donor for St John Henry Newman College, a new independent classical school in South Brisbane.
