Summary of book

After more than twenty years Homeschooling my children and other people's children, I am a passionate believer in the combined Charlotte Mason-Classical Education approach to education. I have four grown Children and six grandchildren with number seven on the way. I started a used homeschool book store in 1990 that grew so much that it became the oldest and the largest one in the country. I have discussed every method of Homeschooling imaginable with thousands of people nationwide and I am adamant that this is the best method out there. It will develop a natural "love of Learning" that the children will thrive on.

I give you a synopsis of both Charlotte Mason and Classical Education and then proceed to show you the similarities and differences and how they can be lovingly combined to give the children a "Love of Learning" that will never end. I also give you a book list and resources by subject that are not typically found in other lists for your information and use. Anyone who wants to nurture and develop their child's natural "love of Learning" will benefit from this book.
