About the Author

CHARLOTTE MASON on training the total child: "That work which is of most importance to society is the bringing-up and instruction of the children-more than anything else [it is] the home influences brought to bear upon the child that determine the character and career of the future man or woman."Charlotte Mason (1842-1923), founder of the Charlotte Mason College of Education in England, was 100 years ahead of her time in developing an educational philosophy that stressed bringing broad and stimulating education to a child in a noncompetitive, biblically based way.Mason's timeless, practical insights and her stress on the responsibility of the home have made her a founding influence in the home schooling movement.

Editorial Reviews

"Society often leaves us disappointed with its tangled, worn-out, and narrow practices in education. We chart a "falling capital" in the product that matters most: the life education and character of our children. Is it not the moment to look at some of the roots? At last Charlotte Mason s seminal books are back in print. These writings will give important priorities and guidelines to parents, teachers, and schools. Welcome back, my dear, valued mentor!" -Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, director of L'Abri Fellowship, Switzerland, and author of For the Children's Sake: Foundations of Education for Home and School

"Teachers owe much to Charlotte Mason's deep insight into child psychology and to the new principles in character building and mind training which she advocated. The gratitude of [those] who have profited by her counsel will be her enduring memorial."-Elizabeth R., Her Majesty the Queen Mother of England
