What a forgotten Victorian teacher understood about children, stories, and the power of imagination.
Thank you for this thoughtful piece. We follow a Charlotte Mason education in our homeschool. How interesting that she isn't as well known in the UK.
This is so great! I use Ambleside Online in out homeschool. I hadn't considered much of this overlap with Tolkien and Lewis!
It is a philosophy of education espoused by many homeschool families.
Now part of the University of Cumbria, Charlotte Mason College was where I studied for my teaching qualification! It was a fabulous place to study and the spirit of Charlotte Mason lives on in the people who teach and study there.
Cumbria is part of the world I keep meaning to visit, along with Cragside in nearby Northumberland.
