I feel like this is a lovely introduction to the life of Ms. Mason, even including quotes and a letter she wrote. If you want a very quick overview of her life and how she came to her ideas of education, this is a great overview.

If you are looking for a truly secular resource, this is not it. However, since this is written towards an older audience, you could certainly frame it as being her belief. |
Overall, as a Charlotte Mason homeschooler, I'm glad to have this book on my shelf. | Overall, as a Charlotte Mason homeschooler, I'm glad to have this book on my shelf. |
