School's Out: Educating your Child at Home (by Jean Bendell)

I'd never heard of Jean Bendell before. I can't find anything about her online, but she was evidently a pioneer in her time. The book School's Out' makes that clear.

This is a very well-written and interesting account of a home educating family in the UK. It was in the early days of what we now think of as home education. In other words, the era when parents started taking full responsibility for their children's education, rather than using either a school or a governess or tutor.

Some legal information is included, though it's not all current. There is also plenty of advice and suggestions. Inevitably some of the content is a bit out of date now, but I still thought it well worth reading.

Definitely recommended.
