A Gentle Feast


A Gentle Feast is a vibrant curriculum, founded on Charlotte Mason’s philosophy and principles, that brings the family together as much as possible to explore a feast of living ideas, while still providing grade-appropriate material for each age. The focus of each year is on one of four historical eras with a rich offering of living books being the main course. Listed below are the titles published by Yesterday's Classics that are included in A Gentle Feast.
