John Holt is indisputably a major thinker in education. Roland Meighan's volume offers the most coherent account of Holt's educational thought.
Roland Meighan held positions as Special Professor of Education at the University of Nottingham, UK, and as Senior Lecturer at University of Birmingham, UK.
"A superb account of the educational writings of John Holt; a
'wonderful exposition' of his work, to quote from Patrick Farenga's
Foreword. It is comprehensive and thorough, without 'penguinizing'
(see page 130!), and it is as lucid, accessible and compelling as
Holt's work itself... This is a powerful book, beautifully written,
and we owe Roland Meighan a debt of gratitude for delivering John
Holt to us in little more thhat 150 pages." Reviewed by

"Meighan has done us the great service -- though it will have been
a labour of love -- of distilling the contents of all of Holt's ten
books into this mort readable volume of his own...Roland Meighan's
eloquent tribute...ought to be essential reading for everyone who
has the welfare of our children at heart." Reviewed by
