Today we begin our exploration of the people who shaped classical education with an interview with Richard M. Gamble, author of 'The Great Tradition: Classic Writings on What it Means to Be an Educated Human Being'. Mr. Gamble is also a professor of History and the Anna Margaret Ross Alexander Professor of History and Politics at Hillsdale College.

Brandy Vencel is the thinker behind the Afterthoughts Blog and host of the Scholé Sisters podcast. She pretty crazy about educational philosophy in general and Charlotte Mason in particular.

In chapter four of Tending the Heart of Virtue, the focus comes to companions and those that offer us formation. Through the classic childhood tales: The Wind in the Willows, Charlotte's Web, and Bambi, Guroian unpacks the differences between those we call friends and those that mentor us.
