A little history of Philosophy was one of my favorite reads last year.

It's inspired by the format of Ernst Gombrich's A little history of the World, and is written in a similarly gentle, accessible style.

I find them both charming. But then I'm a big Gombrich fan. I had this one as bedtime reading when I was a kid and I still find it immensely comforting - although I know a lot of History of Art students absolutely loathe it :/
