Follow Jack and Maggie into the fascinating world of insects! When Jack receives a book for his birthday, he and his sister suddenly find themselves inside it, living the natural history. Learn from their adventures as they question a butterfly, narrate to a spider, go underground with a cicada, anger a wasp, attend a katydid concert, hear a candle fly’s court case, go airborne with some fireflies, sail with a raft-spider, and more. This unique book, used in Charlotte Mason’s PNEU schools, has been out of print and almost impossible to find. We are pleased to bring this valuable resource back into circulation for another generation to enjoy.- Charlotte Mason Recommended—Originally published in 1910, Jack’s Insects is a classic living science book that Charlotte Mason used in her schools. Records indicate that she recommended it for children in Form II (grades 4–6).
- Living Science—In true Charlotte Mason style, fascinating facts about insects are couched in a living story. You’ll learn about butterflies, caterpillars, plague locusts, carding bees, cicadas, katydids, and more, and from the (often opinionated) insects themselves. (Oh, yes, these insects are quite the characters!)
- Original Illustrations—J. A. Shepherd created more than forty-four pen and ink drawings to illustrate the story of Jack’s Insects. We have tried to preserve the integrity of these original illustrations, presenting them as they appeared in the early 1900’s edition, including their hand-drawn border lines.

SaleJane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is a first person narration of the life of Jane, the eponymous heroine. Having been orphaned at a young age, Jane must live with her emotionally abusive aunt and bullying cousins. Eventually sent to Lowood school for orphaned girls, Jane is again mistreated by apathetic management at the institution until the abuses are discovered and benefactors help improve the school. Having overcome the difficulties of her childhood, Jane leaves Lowood to serve as a governess for a young French girl at Thornfield Hall. In her new post, Jane is employed by the mysterious and brooding Mr. Rochester. Thornfield Hall is as strange as its master, and Jane begins to notice odd noises and unexplained occurrences. Despite the strangeness of her new situation, Jane begins to develop a deep affection for Mr. Rochester. However, when Jane discovers the truth behind the mysteries of Thornfield Hall she seems destined to be forever separated from her beloved Rochester. Jane Eyre beautifully illustrates the power of the Christian faith to overcome hardship, the tenacity of holy love, the struggle to resist temptation, and the joy which comes through obedience, patience, and hope.
