Dr. Johnson's Best

Early in James Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson, he mentions that Dr. Johnson was once overheard saying that the best thing he ever wrote was The Vision of Theodore, the Hermit, found in his Cell.  It was only a google away, so I sat down and read this marvelous allegory about the Path to Happiness on the Mountain of Existence.  Go read it, it could easily work as an Ambleside Online Selection.
