NO TWADDLE

Charlotte Mason, an educator from the turn of the century, said

“Thought breeds thought; children familiar with great thoughts take as naturally to thinking for themselves as the well-nourished body takes to growing;  and we must bear in mind that growth, physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual, is the sole end of education.” – Charlotte Mason

The books we choose are deep and meaningful examples of classic literature.  They provide opportunities for thoughtful discussion and Charlotte Mason style narrations.  Mason described twaddle in literature as  books written down for children.  There’s none of that here!  Adults and children alike will enjoy these treasures.
