An Essay Towards a Philosophy of Education: A Liberal Education for All
Charlotte Maria Mason and Edward, Hon. Lyttelton
Children are born persons: five words that quietly revolutionized schooling. Charlotte Mason's final major work lays out her method whole, self education, the mind of the child, the habits of attention, and a liberal education offered to every child rather than a privileged few. The volume home educators still pass hand to hand. Meet the mind behind the movement.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
