My new website is finally launched, so that means My new website is finally launched, so that means I can get back to doing what I love... Releasing books! I have quite a few ready to release and the first is John of Sydney Cove! I have had many requests for this book that follows on from John of the Sirius as the members of the First Fleet try to make a colony in Australia. . This book features a beautiful cover and map by @gloris_smith_young. . Whether you have an interest in the founding of Australia, or just enjoy well written, thoroughly researched historical fiction this is a book you're sure to enjoy. . Buy it now in hardcover, softcover and digital, or read a sample at www.livingbookpress.com/product/john-of-sydney-cove/ . #booksaustralia #aussiebookstagram #livingbooks #charlottemason
One of the best parts of what I do is some of the One of the best parts of what I do is some of the people I meet. When chasing rights I spend hours combing through obituaries, probate records, gravestone photos, old articles etc trying to find living relatives of the author so I can find who can give permission to reprint the books. In doing so I've learned that authors kids are not afraid to walk to the beat of their own drum. . Dorothy Sanders was an Australian author who wrote The Randy, the story of a boy trying to establish how his friend died who gets caught up on the boats in WWII. His adventure extends from Australia to the US and the Pacific islands in between. . Getting permission to reprint this one was a long process as the rights were jointly owned by her two sons, and one of them was always off circumnavigating the world, even in his 80's. When I saw this headline in The Guardian there was no doubt who it was! I found the read fascinating. I hope you will too. And I think you'll enjoy The Randy also! . https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/feb/06/anything-but-ordinary-octogenarian-sailors-11th-circumnavigation-highlights-plastic-pollution/ . https://www.livingbookpress.com/shop/australian-literature/the-randy-dorothy-sanders/ . #livingbooks #adventure #sailing #wwii #australianbooks #books

For over 100 years Amy Mack’s monthly diary deta For over 100 years Amy Mack’s monthly diary detailing her observations as she walked through the bush near her home has been an Australian favourite. . Now you can experience her travels with 72 full colour photos of the flora and fauna described. Each month contains a list of birds nesting, coming, and going, along with the plants that are flowering and fruiting so that you, too, can keep an eye out for some of our local wonders. . Amy Mack is a favourite Aussie author who captured the Australian bush through the seasons. @nature_study_australia has released a great guide to accompany this book that you can buy from her. In this guide, you walk alongside Amy as she identifies wildflowers and observes nesting birds through the year. You can choose to investigate Amy’s nature finds with field guides indoors or explore a local park for wildflowers and wildlife while recording your own sightings in a year’s cycle. . I'm teaming up with Marie to give away a copy of both the book and the guide.

I'm so grateful for all the support I get from thi I'm so grateful for all the support I get from this community. With Thanksgiving and Black Friday coming up my printers get a little busier than normal, so I'm offering my sale a little earlier. Use code 'thankyou' at checkout for 10% off individual books until the end of Nov. . Great gifts include the new color Handbook of Nature Study series, with lovely new color images or the Charlotte Mason Home Education series. These are the only CM editions that have been carefully transcribed and reformatted to match the original. Gladiola Garden is a delightful collection of poetry by an African American whose poems describe the things she did in her youth. It's really worth checking out. . Please share with your homeschooling groups who may benefit from the sale, and don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything I can do. I also plan to send out an email in the next few days. It's been quite a few months since I sent one out so there is a lot of news from the farm, and book releases that you might have missed.

One last addition to my Handbook of Nature Study r One last addition to my Handbook of Nature Study releases is this smaller volume combining the introductions from the various sections. I had a few people ask if the Intro to Nature Study was in each book. To do that would have increased the pricing significantly so instead I decided to put it and the other intros to plant, tree, bird and insect study in one convenient volume. . THERE IS NOTHING NEW IN THIS VOLUME THAT ISN'T IN ONE OF THE OTHERS! Sorry to shout, I just don't want any confusion about it. You're fine to skip this, but if you think it's handy having that info on its own you can choose to grab it. . Emails have been sent to everyone who purchased individual volumes with a discount to compete your collection. If you don't have one please check your spam folder and send me a note so I can sort it out. . As a thank you for reading all this I'm also letting you know about the sale I have just started for the rest of the month. 10% off with code 'thankyou'. This doesn't include already discounted bundles. . As a small, one person, business your support means the world to me and my family. Your notes of encouragement, helpful criticism, and the friendships I've made with many of you are very humbling. Thank you so much. .

If you've ordered a book from me already I'll be emailing you with an option to get the rest of the set at the special pricing, just keep an eye on your inbox over the next day or two. I have to sort them all manually so it might take a while. . I hope these books are something that helps make this wonderful resource more user friendly with its larger font and more practical size. .

The courier should deliver this week's Handbook of The courier should deliver this week's Handbook of Nature Study tomorrow! I could use digital images to release and show it to you, but that feels like lying. Things can look quite different, resolution that's fine digital can look awful printed so I try to make sure I take photos to show the book as it is, even if that means a frustrating wait! . The final book is also currently being printed and should be sent to me tomorrow, rest to be released next week, as well as the full set. . In the meantime here's a few of today's eggs. A few of our young chickens have just started laying. Getting little fairy eggs isn't uncommon, but I've never had any that look like this before! The one on the right is a normal egg for comparison. Often the fairy eggs only contains the white, sometimes just a tiny little bit of yolk. They're rather cute, I think so at least.
Anna Comstock's Handbook of Nature Study: Trees an Anna Comstock's Handbook of Nature Study: Trees and Garden Flowers is out! This is the fifth of what will be seven volumes and is available in both soft and hard cover. I've been really enjoying working on these, and my boys have been picking them up to look through themselves which is really exciting. . I was hoping to have the last two done by now, they're each about 70% of the way, but we're flooded and our phone lines have been out for a few days now which makes finding and adding images rather tricky. If I take a while to respond to anything that's the reason. I have a spot with a little mobile reception at the moment but it never lasts long. . The last two volumes are Insects, and Earth and Sky. They should all be released in the next two weeks ready for you to put a set on your Christmas list! . #naturestudy #annacomstock #handbookofnaturestudy #charlottemasonnaturestudy #charlottemason
I'm very excited today to release a new line of bo I'm very excited today to release a new line of books from Living Book Press, the World Voices range. One thing I love about books is that they can help me walk in the shoes of someone who has had different experiences than I have. This range has been created to highlight some of the voices we don't hear from often enough in the traditional homeschool community. . The first book in this range is Gladiola Garden, a collection of poetry by Effie Lee Newsome that celebrates "the unique experiences of Black children and their meanderings through field and forest alongside the crickets and toads." . This book was requested by a reader who had learned of it at Amber O'Neal Johnston's wonderful blog, Heritage Mom (@heritagemomblog) where she shares resources and books to help add diverse voices to traditional homeschool curricula. She has contributed a new foreword to the book and is running a wonderful giveaway where you can win not just this book, but many others also featuring diverse voices. Visit https://heritagemom.com/index.php/2020/02/21/african-american-poetry-effie-lee-newsome/ for details on the amazing giveaway, or www.livingbookpress.com to order in soft or hardcover. . #blackpoets #homeschoolmom #heritagemom #charlottemason #effieleenewsome #poetryteatime #homeschooling #charlottemasonpoetry #multiculturalcharlottemason
Guess what's out today? This one features Mammals Guess what's out today? This one features Mammals and Flowerless Plants! I'm really enjoying releasing these. They've been a few years in the making, formatting the text etc, but enjoying using this resource is making it all worthwhile! . Check it out at www.livingbookpress.com now, and watch for the remaining volumes to be released in the coming weeks. . There will be seven in total with an extra bonus small book containing the introductions to the different sections that will give you an easy jumping off point for those inevitable times when even though you're studying one thing the kids find and are fascinated by something completely different! . #charlottemasonnaturestudy #handbookofnaturestudy #annacomstock #amblesideonline #materamabilis #materamabilis
