The Collection
Nearly 2, 800 volumes and growing…
You won’t find most of these books in the local library or book stores. Some are out of print. Some are old. All of them are living - written by authors who love their subjects and who write as though ideas matter and children, not only care about big ideas, but can also think deeply about those ideas.
This is a Charlotte Mason curated collection - no twaddle , very few textbooks, no dumbed down summaries. Just books worth reading.
A Note About the Catalog
The Flying Pig catalog is available to browse through Book Buddy, and we invite you to explore it. A few things worth knowing before you dive in:
The collection is still being cataloged. Tags, genres, and subject categories are being added regularly, so search results may not yet reflect everything on the shelves. If you’re looking for something specific and can’t find it, contact Shea directly - she knows these shelves well.
The catalog grows. New books are added regularly, so check back often.
