Secular Charlotte Mason

I am a big fan of Eva Tappan's books. Even though they are old fashioned and not politically correct I find the conversational tone of her books to be quite appealing and suspect that she will be a better match for my girls than the more scholarly books I used with my son. The girls are not history buffs but I think this author will give them the glimpse into history and culture that I want them to have. I have also discovered that all/most of her books are available online for those times when money is tight. If you prefer hard copy you can find them at Lulu, Amazon and some used book stores. Honestly, I do not understand why we do not see her books on CM reading lists more often as they are a good alternative for kids who do not like the more often recommended Marshall books. I also think that the Tappan books appeal to a wider age range than the Marshall books (I do love Marshall, but my girls surely do not).
