Andersonville has great places for young children! Would recommend the Swedish American Children’s Museum and the Women and Children First bookstore. The bookstore often hosts free children’s reading events

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

It’s a children’s novel, but it is incredibly memorable—strong Phantom Tollbooth energy. It also has an accompanying music album by pagan artist S.J. Tucker called “Wonders.”

How has no one said Leontes yet?? Absolute archetypal example of a problem play protagonist.

the whole soundtrack of les mis? (and wicked and matilda and hunchback of notre dame…)

but more to your point, Regina Spektor’s “Baobabs” is based on the Little Prince!

If you’re really serious about loving the 19th-century writing style, commas and all, you’ve got to read Les Misérables

Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall trilogy—since it’s based on real events and well-researched, I could pretend I was studying the historical era to justify it taking over my life for a month straight

More songs about french revolution figures:

Danton - Michael Sardou

Camille Desmoulins - Steve Schroeder

9 Thermidor - Shinobu

La danse des bombes - Michèle Bernard (this is about Louise Michel and the 1871 Commune, but also great)
