Reviews
'Read this book not only to learn about John Holt's work, but about what you can do in your own life to personalize and make education meaningful not just to yourself, but for others as well.' Patrick Farenga worked with John Holt Associates and Growing Without Schooling magazine for over 24 years.
"""A superb account of the educational writings of John Holt; a 'wonderful exposition' of his work, to quote from Patrick Farenga's Foreword. It is comprehensive and thorough, without 'penguinizing' (see page 130!), and it is as lucid, accessible and compelling as Holt's work itself... This is a powerful book, beautifully written, and we owe Roland Meighan a debt of gratitude for delivering John Holt to us in little more thhat 150 pages."" Reviewed by Peter Holt in The Journal of Personalised Education, Spring/Summer 2008 ""Meighan has done us the great service -- though it will have been a labour of love -- of distilling the contents of all of Holt's ten books into this mort readable volume of his own...Roland Meighan's eloquent tribute...ought to be essential reading for everyone who has the welfare of our children at heart.""
