Charlotte Mason firmly believed that novels are our greatest teachers, hence why she included them as a major serving in the feast that nourishes our children’s education. This episode was recorded live at the ADE At Home conference, February 2, 2024, with Nicole, Emily, and Liz leading a discussion with attendees who had read the book and come to contribute what they had been taught by William Makepeace Thackeray’s classic novel Vanity Fair. If you have read the book, you will revel in the myriad messages this book conveyed to us all, and if you have not, you will be inspired to read it.
Listen Now:
Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray
The quote that I felt summed up the book: Everybody is striving for what is not worth the having! Ch 48, about 2/3 of the way through (pg 471 in my Franklin Library edition. So appreciated access to the reading schedule. Thank you!
M’Lynn,
That does perfectly encapsulate his message.
