A very interesting book indeed. A great read for those that are looking into using a Charlotte Mason method of education for their children.
I will admit some spots were a bit hard to read. I wasn't excatly sure what she was talking about once or twice, but overall it was an extremely informative book. I still need to do some more CM reading to really get it, and probably I need to put it into practice for a while and it will really start to make sense! LOL! ( )

This is a good place to begin to learn how important literature is in education AND, as importantly, life. ( )

If you've never read Susan Schaeffer Macaulay's book For the Children's Sake, I can't encourage you enought to buy it and read it, read it, read it! This book truly changed my perspective on how to homeschool as well as ways to be a better parent. It's in my list of 10 books besides the Bible that have impacted my life.

Excellent summary of Charlotte Mason's educational ideas and practices. MacAulay does a wonderful job of pulling out the most relevant Mason quotes and also has a lot of very thought-provoking words of her own. ( )
