Originally published in 1960, Summerhill became an instant bestseller
and a classic volume of education for an entire generation. Now, this
thoroughly expanded and revised version of the original Summerhill
reinstates the revolutionary free school traditions begun by
Summerhill's founder A.S. Neill.
As American education lags behind the rest of the world, this new
edition is more timely than ever. The children of today face struggles
far greater than any previous generation and we, as parents and
teachers, must teach them now to make choices for themselves and to
learn from the outcome of their decisions.
This classic work yet again invites a new view of childhood and presents
an essential treatise that challenges us to rethink our approach to
education.
