Pagan Homeschooling by Kristin Madden (Paperback - Oct 2002)

And they say Homeschooling is strictly for Christians! The mere existence of this book proves otherwise. While this book is not necessarily on my 'must read" list, I believe that there are a number of people (probably pagan) who would like to know that it exists. So, if you are a pagan, who needs homeschooling advice, or considering homeschooling, purchase this book.
