Summary: Should Be on Every Teacher's Bookshelf
Comment: I read all of Richard Armour's "It All Started With..." books when I was in high school a zillion years ago. Luckily, I had a social studies teacher who had several copies he'd lend to students. Once read, never forgotten! Armour's humor motivates readers to read and learn. If you already know the facts he's satirizing, you'll giggle and guffaw. If you DON'T have the foggiest idea about the subject, you'll darn well WANT to learn about it so you can appreciate the humor. I had a few Armour books in my classroom library when I was a teacher, but sadly, the books have disappeared over the years. Now it's time to search for replacements online. Onward!

Summary: This out-of-print classic is worth searching for!
Comment: After being introduced to Dr. Armour by my freshman HS English teacher, I was blessed to hear him speak in person at a college guest lecture series in 1970. Dr. Armour's comment about the book (then newly published) was: "there's not a dirty word in it--but I certainly hope that it will be read by a large number of dirty-minded people!" A satirical look at sex and gender issues with warmth and humor as only Armour can. An example from Roman times: "Roman men being as they were, it was no easy thing for the Vestal virgins to remain virgins. One thing that helped was keeping busy tending the perpetual fire on the altar of Vesta. Another was staying away from men. Still another was knowing that if they lost heir chastity, they would be buried alive." The classic drawings of Campbell Grant also add enjoyment.

Summary: No chinks in this Armour. Simply MarEvelous!!!
Comment: I read it a long time ago in India and loved Eve-ry bit of it. This is really a combination of Carry on Cleo, Eve-olution of woman in the best possible comic parlance and just wonderful, easy reading that captures your imagination and is too witty. Thank you Mr Armour for your Rich humour.
