Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Picture Book of Robinson CrusoeOnce upon a time, nearly three hundred years ago, a boy named Robinson Crusoe was living in England. His home was in the city of York, that ancient and beautiful town from which our New York gets its name. You would think that he would have been too fond of the high, square towers of the great York Minster, and the quaint houses with the graceful-storks flying overhead, ever to want to leave his city. But this was just what he did want to do. Before he was well grown he told his father that he was going off to sea.Mr. Crusoe didn't like the idea a bit. He told Robinson whom he probably called Robin, because he and his Wife were very fond of their boy - that a sailor's life was a hard one, especially for a lad who had not been trained to sailors' work. It was dangerous, too. Ships that went on long voyages often got blown off their courses and were many months reaching home again. Sometimes, even, they were wrecked in great storms, and the men on them were never heard from again.All this Robinson's father told him over and over again, to try to make the boy forget his mad idea, because the Crusoes had alreadylost their other son, who had been a soldier and was killed in battle; and they wanted to keep Robin at home with them. Finally his father just said firmly, I will not allow you to go. Your mother and I will be happier if you stay here and learn to be a lawyer.But Robinson still kept on thinking about the sea, and talking to everybody he could find that had ever gone voyaging on a ship. And then, one day, he ran away - disobeyed his parents and went down to Hull, a seacoast town where he knew he should find ships. He had plenty of money with him, for his father was both wealthy and generous, so he thought he would be all right.Now, any other boy would probably have asked to be taken on board some ship as a real, working sailor, to earn his own way and learn to do all the queer things that sailors have to do. For in those days, you must remember, ships were not run by steam, with the big engines doing most of the work. Steam engines hadn't yet been invented. A ship then had to depend on the wind that blew against its sails and made it fly through the water. And if it was a big ship it had to carry a good many 'men to set the sails so that they caught whatever wind there was, and to raise and lower the anchor, and to move the rudder back and forth to make the ship turn around.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formation of Character is the fifth volume of Charlotte Mason's Homeschooling series. The chapters stand alone and are valuable to parents of children of all ages. Part I includes case studies of children (and adults) who cured themselves of bad habits. Part II is a series of reflections on subjects including both schooling and vacations (or "stay-cations" as we now call them). Part III covers various aspects of home schooling, with a special section detailing the things that Charlotte Mason thought were important to teach to girls in particular. Part IV consists of examples of how education affected outcome of character in famous writers of her day. Charlotte Mason was a late nineteenth-century British educator whose ideas were far ahead of her time. She believed that children are born persons worthy of respect, rather than blank slates, and that it was better to feed their growing minds with living literature and vital ideas and knowledge, rather than dry facts and knowledge filtered and pre-digested by the teacher. Her method of education, still used by some private schools and many homeschooling families, is gentle and flexible, especially with younger children, and includes first-hand exposure to great and noble ideas through books in each school subject, conveying wonder and arousing curiosity, and through reflection upon great art, music, and poetry; nature observation as the primary means of early science teaching; use of manipulatives and real-life application to understand mathematical concepts and learning to reason, rather than rote memorization and working endless sums; and an emphasis on character and on cultivating and maintaining good personal habits. Schooling is teacher-directed, not child-led, but school time should be short enough to allow students free time to play and to pursue their own worthy interests such as handicrafts. Traditional Charlotte Mason schooling is firmly based on Christianity, although the method is also used successfully by s
