Lanaya Gore has written Laying Down the Rails for Children as well as other books that help homeschool families easily implement the Charlotte Mason method. She loves hot herbal teas, cozy books, hiking in the woods, and blogging about her family. Lanaya and her husband live in rural Missouri and are in the midst of homeschooling their four children. Twila Farmer has been illustrating books and publications for over twenty years. For half of that time, she traveled internationally illustrating on location for nonprofit organizations. Twila now lives in Missouri. When she's not drawing, Twila homeschools her son, gardens with her husband, practices karate, and tries to keep their four cats from sneaking into the house. Twila will complete an MFA in Illustration through the University of Hartford in 2022.
"The illustrations are delightful, wonderfully evoking the era in
which Charlotte Mason lived, and the beauty of the Lake District of
England. May this book inspire a fresh interest and appreciation
for the worlds of wonder and knowledge that Miss Mason
loved."--Karen Glass, author of Know and Tell and Consider This
Charlotte Mason: The Teacher Who Revealed Worlds of Wonder by
Lanaya Gore and illustrated by Twila Farmer is quite simply a
lovely first introduction to the life of Charlotte Mason for
children and parents, capturing the loveliness of the woman and the
atmosphere of her life.--Cindy Rollins, author of Mere Motherhood
and Morning Time: A Liturgy of Love
"Lanaya Gore's sharing of Charlotte Mason's life will prove a
delight for both parent and child. Lanaya's evident depth of
understanding paired with her ability to communicate with the
younger reader beautifully depicts Charlotte's passion for life,
for education, and for her own commitment to intellectual growth.
Lanaya's words take the reader on a journey from Charlotte's humble
beginnings in Bangor, Wales, to the more commonly discussed latter
years in Ambleside; she delicately covers interesting information
about Charlotte's life that anyone would find fascinating. The
incredible illustrations by Twila Farmer bring definition to the
story, and expression to the words. Every Charlotte Mason educator
would do well to have this book on hand in their home library, and
have a couple stored away for gifts!"--Leah Boden, author of the
forthcoming Modern Miss Mason
