I credit it as the book that planted the seeds of unschooling in me. Evie loved "The Brownie and the Princess." The Alcott home, Orchard House, is a wonderful place to visit if your ever in the Concord, MA area. Fruitlands is where we had our rehearsal dinner before our wediing. I am a bit of an Alcott nut and my husband's family is from that part of MA--lucky me! “Little Men” is my favorite too! I credit it as the book that planted the seeds of unschooling in me.

With the Waldorfy craft & recipe books, I have felt like I could pull out what worked for me and ignore the rest. I find I'm much less inclined to use them than I once was, though, and I've been thinking about purging several to clear some space on our overcrowded shelves.
