Product Description
Charlotte Mason was a late nineteenth-century British educator whose ideas were far ahead of her time.

How excited I was to receive this material. A book of gold full of God’s wisdom to teach and train home schooling families in every aspect. An absolute must read!

Very small typeface and hard to read with no italics, spacing or formating, just a wall of tiny words. It seems to have been taken right from the Ambleside Online website without editing or correction. Ambleside Online’s modern comments and typos are found throughout this one volume edition and also in the publisher’s individual volumes as well. Yet, surprisingly, no mention of Ambleside Online can be found inside the book/s.
It also appears the publisher did not even refer to the first original “Original Homeschooling Series” , the one in the red box set, to correct the mistakes. I will stick to the original “Original”, the ones published by a real homeschool family. Check this one out: Charlotte Mason’s Original Homeschooling Series
