Summerhill: A Radical Approach to Child Rearing

Publisher Harold Hart approached Neill to write about his controversial school, & together compiled this book from Neill’s other works, which became the number one nonfiction bestseller in the USA. The effect of the book helped to promulgate Neill’s educational theories, as well as reviving the flagging attendance at the long-running experimental school that he had founded in 1921 in Germany in conjunction with the Neue Schule, & then moved to England in 1923.
