“When you and I are gone,” wrote Charlotte Mason, “the ‘P.R.’ will be long quoted and made much of in the annals of Education.” She was writing to Henrietta Franklin in 1911, and P.R., of course, stands for Parents’ Review.

The Charlotte Mason Poetry team works with volunteers every day to make this prediction of Charlotte Mason come true. Her intent was never that the wonderful articles of the Parents’ Review would be hidden away in a handful of libraries around the world. No, she intended that the articles would be quoted and studied even in our day.

We are doing our part to “make much” of these precious educational gems. Indeed, in the same letter Mason wrote that the Parents’ Review is “quite unique in all languages and in all times.”

Our team follows a rigorous process to bring accurate transcriptions to you for free. Multiple typists and multiple eyes go through each article to ensure every sentence, word, and letter is correct. But before typing can begin, we need to find the articles.

And I am so excited about my newest finds. Keep watching this space because I’m terrible at keeping secrets. Especially when the secrets are articles that Charlotte Mason wanted the whole world to see.
