Step into The Medieval World: Myths, Morality & Mystery — a six-lesson English Unit Study exploring courage, faith, and the human spirit through the myths and mysteries of the medieval era.

Perfect for home education or independent study, this collection helps students connect literature with history, art, philosophy, and design.

It’s designed to gently build analytical and creative writing skills and can be used as a complete stand-alone unit or alongside other English or humanities learning. Whether at home or in school, it offers a calm, flexible way to explore ideas with depth and imagination.

Through carefully chosen extracts, creative writing, and reflection, you will discover how medieval writers used story, symbolism, and faith to make sense of the world around them.
