The company was founded in 1995 by Michael Wood and Robert Lally, when Wood found no products on the market that could help his struggling son learn to read.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”

“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
