Originally published in 1960, Summerhill became an instant bestseller and a classic volume of education for an entire generation. Now, this thoroughly expanded and revised version of the original Summerhill reinstates the revolutionary "free school" traditions begun by Summerhill's founder A.S. Neill. As American education lags behind the rest of the world, this new edition is more timely than ever. The children of today face struggles far greater than any previous generation and we, as parents and teachers, must teach them now to make choices for themselves and to learn from the outcome of their decisions. This classic work yet again invites a new view of childhood and presents an essential treatise that challenges us to rethink our approach to education.

Albert Lamb, an ex-pupil and now the Summerhill librarian has edited the current edition of Summerhill. This book contains additional material taken from A.S. Neill's many books and other writings.

The second section is Neill's autobiography - with accounts of his childhood in Scotland, his father's school, university, the influence of Homer Lane and Wilhelm Reich upon his life and the development of his teaching ideas which culminated in the foundation of Summerhill.
