Description: The Kingdom of Childhood by Rudolf Steiner. Rudolf Steiner Press, 1974. Scarce hardcover edition of this series of lectures on childhood development by the founder of the Anthroposophical Society and the Waldorf School. Steiner presents here the idea of the three seven-year periods of child development and gives many classroom examples. These seven intimate talks, and one Question & Answer lecture, were presented to a small group on Steiner's final visit to England. Because they were given to “pioneers” dedicated to opening a new Waldorf school, these talks are often considered one of the best introductions to Waldorf education. These talks are filled with practical illustrations and revolve around certain themes — the need for observation in teachers; the dangers of stressing the intellect too early; children's need for teaching that is concrete and pictorial; the education of children's souls through wonder and reverence; the importance of first presenting the ‘whole,’ then the parts, to the children's imagination. Here is one of the best introductions to Waldorf education. Translated by Helen Fox, and with a Preface by A. C. Harwood. Format: 6 x 9" hc, made in the UK, 159pp, illustrated, list of other books by Steiner.
