Who is Charlotte Mason?

“Although orphaned as on only child at the age of 16 in Victorian England, Charlotte Mason went on to become an inspired and original educational reformer in the early twentieth century.  She founded the Parents’ National Education Union in 1887 and established the ‘The House of Education’, a Teacher Training College for women in Ambleside in 1892.  The clarity and coherence of her applied philosophy of education gave rise to a simple, straightforward and yet deeply satisfying enjoyment of learning for children of all ages and in countless homes and schools throughout the world...”  From the back cover of The Story of Charlotte Mason by Essex Cholmondley
