The 3rd edition of Charlotte Mason’s final volume contains a new 1954 foreword by Sir Richard Livingstone, as well as the original 1925 foreword by Edward Littleton. Neither foreword appears in modern editions of the book.

I am currently reading Edward Lyttelton’s 1931 Whither? A Study of Shams and Safeguards. This fascinating book by a former headmaster of England’s elite Eton College is challenging and encouraging. And it includes an astonishing endorsement of Charlotte Mason: “How do we learn? This question has been convincingly answered by Miss Charlotte Mason, founder of the House of Education, Ambleside.” It is because she has answered this question so convincingly that I trust her as the guide and mentor of my homeschool.
