Charlotte Mason's Ourselves was originally published in two separate books, then combined as part of her Original Homeschool Series. This edition features book 2 on its own for students who only need the one volume.
Charlotte Mason, a renowned British educator, lived during the turn of the 20th century. She turned the idea of education being something of utilitarian necessity into an approach based upon living ideas. She believed that education is "an atmosphere, a discipline, a life" and a "science of relations." Her methods are embraced around the world today, especially among the homeschool community.
