Treatise on Parents and Children
Bernard Shaw
Bernard Shaw declares children nuisances, parents worse, and education the manufacture of monsters, then dares you to disagree. His treatise fires paradoxes at family, school and the habit of imposing ourselves on the young, each one landing nearer the truth than comfort allows. Shaw on childhood at full brilliance. The most quotable parenting book ever written.
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.
