I would recommend the book "The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric", by Sister Miriam Joseph. It attempts to cover the ground that may have been lost by those who missed out studying 'The Classics' formally, all in a single book.

This looks like a beautiful book, a perfect Christmas gift, thanks! Just one question: it seems that there are two such books with almost identical titles, the one by Sister Miriam Joseph and one by John Michell, Rachel Holley and others. Do you have any advice on the differences? The latter one seems to have a nicer graphic design, and it appears that it’s part of a series of similar books on different disciplines.

  I was referring to the Sr. Miriam book, first published 1948. The other seems to be an anthology book, frankly not sure of the quality of the content in it.

    The modern one is fantastic quality. The quadrivium and trivium. Really incredible.
