In this classic 1948 memoir, now in its fourth edition, Pratt recounts, in a wry authorial voice much closer to Will Rogers than John Dewey, how she founded what is now the dynamic City and Country School in New York City; invented the maple “unit blocks” that have become a staple in classrooms and children’s homes around the globe; and came to play an important role in reimagining preschool and primary-school education in ways that resound in the tumultuously creative age before us.
The 2014 edition features a new introduction by Ian Frazier, as well as a new chapter, “C&C at 100”, by former principal Kate Turley, and an afterword by Susan F. Semel.
