Book Reviews of The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had

Book Review: THE WELL EDUCATED MIND
Summary: 4 Stars

As a product of the stultifying 1960's - '70's comprehensive education system, books such as these form the blade that helps me cut my mind out of the belittling strait jacket imposed by short sighted and begrudging public 'educationalists. Truly a wind of change.
