The Story of Greatville—A Children’s Book Partnership

Teens and young adults have options when it comes to Ayn Rand and Objectivism. But what about resources for conveying such values to young children? Sadly, there’s been very few…until now! The Atlas Society is excited to announce that we have partnered with author Mark Ensomme to promote his new book, The Story of Greatville: a Rhymed History Fable

Ensomme calls The Story of Greatville “a marriage of Ayn Rand and Dr. Seuss.”

The Story of Greatville is an anthem to the American ideals of individual rights, limited government, and free markets. This quick-paced, whimsical narrative tells the story of a land called Greatville that is founded on these principles.

Greatville becomes a haven of liberty for people all over and a beacon of hope for humanity as prosperity and innovation blossom. But in time, however, Greatville loses its way when the people abandon these ideals and become increasingly dependent on the government. Desperate for solutions as things collapse, the people call a meeting to find more government-based solutions. This meeting gets mired in bickering until a young girl— Arynda—delivers a powerful message, a message that unfortunately needs to be heard by young and old alike today in America.

Powerful and direct, yet witty and clever, this story is both a tribute to America and a warning that we have lost our way.

The Atlas Society is working to get Greatville into the hands of an even younger audience than those already consuming our Pocket Guides and Graphic Novels. You can buy Greatville for someone you know at atlassociety. org/books. The Atlas Society receives royalties for every copy sold!

“I really enjoyed reading it and how the author used quaint language to tell a tale that philosophers sometimes make boring.” – Kate J.
