Joy Baker Homeschooling Trilogy Bundle

Description

Discover the true story behind one of the UK’s most significant homeschooling victories—and the family life that made it worth fighting for. This exclusive bundle brings together Joy Baker’s three memoirs:

Children in Chancery — Joy’s landmark account of her decade-long legal battle with Norfolk County Council to defend a parent’s right to educate at home. A gripping, plain-spoken memoir that helped define the modern UK home-education movement.

The House on the Hill — Intimate, day-by-day scenes of learning around the kitchen table and on the farm: lessons woven into chores, curiosity guiding the timetable, and a family culture where education and everyday life are inseparable.

Turn on the Sun — A warm, hopeful continuation from The House on the Hill, tracing how Joy’s principles matured through the next season of family life.

Why this bundle?

• A pioneer’s voice. Joy Baker’s stand established, in practice and in court, that parents may cause their children to receive an “efficient full-time education… either by regular attendance at school or otherwise.” Her story has become touchstone history for home educators.
• Inspiration for your own home education. Beyond the courtroom, Joy’s pages are full of practical rhythms, resourcefulness, and courage for parents charting their own course.
• A complete arc. From conflict to hard-won freedom, then from freedom to flourishing—read the whole journey.

Perfect for: homeschooling parents; educators interested in learner-led, home-centred practice; readers of John Holt, Paul Goodman, and other education reformers who want the family-level story that came first.

Step into Joy’s kitchen, fields, and family room—and see how an ordinary mother lit a path for thousands of home-educating families.
