The Legend of ParzivalThe Epic Story of his Quest for the Grail
retOLd BY rOBin cOOK
• An accessible prose retelling of the medieval German epic brings this wonderful story to life for today's readers
• Faithfully preserves the story, characters and tone of Wolfram von Eschenbach's thirteenth-century narrative poem
• The metaphor of Parzival's journey of self-discovery is at the heart of the Steiner-Waldorf Class 11 curriculum
Enter the extraordinary world of Arthurian legend. But The Legend of Parzival is more than the tale of one knight's epic journey to find the elusive Holy Grail; along the way Parzival faces a challenging journey of self-discovery. He must conquer his ignorance and pride, and learn humility and compassion before he is finally worthy of becoming a Grail Knight.
Robin Cook was a Steiner-Waldorf teacher for more than thirty years. Now retired, he lectures on the Arthurian legends and the story of Parzival.

The Story of Geometry
jULia e. diGGins
• A useful and inspiring book for those teaching geometry• Takes an accessible and engaging look at how humans used only
three simple tools – the string, the straight-edge and the shadow – to reveal the basic principles of geometry
• Weaves history and legend to explain the discoveries of the most famous mathematicians
From the early peoples who marvelled at the geometry of nature – the beehive and bird's nest – to ancient civilisations who questioned beautiful geometric forms and asked 'why?', the story of geometry spans thousands of years.
This insightful and engaging book makes geometry accessible to everyone. Readers will be fascinated with how the knowledge and wisdom of so many cultures helped shape our civilisation today.
Julia E. Diggins taught mathematics in junior high school, and 'modern' mathematics for elementary school teachers at the University of Maryland, USA.

ReincarnationA Christian Perspective
friedricH ritteLmeYer
• One of the few books to explore and endorse reincarnation from a Christian point of view
• An engaging read in which Rittelmeyer visibly struggles to find a path to acceptance of reincarnation, and finally succeeds
• Draws on the work and inspiration of Rudolf Steiner
Reincarnation – by which human beings return to live on earth – is a concept most often associated with eastern philosophies rather than Christianity. In this fascinating book, Friedrich Rittelmeyer explores reincarnation from a Christian point of view, arguing that it has a place in modern Christian thought.

The Spirit of CamphillBirth of a Movement
KARL KÖNIG

Fleeing from Nazi Europe in the late 1930s, Austrian-born Karl König and his colleagues founded the first Camphill community, for children with special needs, outside Aberdeen in the north of Scotland. The seven essays by König in this book explain the principles behind what would grow to become a worldwide movement, and reveal the inner motivations that drove König and his team to persevere with their social project.
A unique insight into the founding principles of the Camphill Movement
Karl König (1902–66) was well known as a physician, author and lecturer. Inspired by the educational ideas of Rudolf Steiner, König founded the Camphill Movement in 1940, comprising schools and villages for those with special needs.
