Historic books deserve careful stewardship. Our children deserve correct information. Our Revised and Enhanced Editions preserve the voice and beauty that made these books classics for our children to enjoy.
The video and audio lessons are free to watch and listen to. Families can begin immediately, then add printable Lesson Guides whenever they want extra support and an open-and-go experience.
No more gathering maps, researching pronunciations, finding copywork, or planning narration prompts. We’ve already done that work.
Kindred Thicket doesn’t replace the Charlotte Mason method. It simply carries the preparation, so you can focus on the relationship.
“This is coming in really handy in our homeschool. We are really enjoying having the cursive practice and the reinforcement of the stories.”

Yes. Every video and audio lesson is free to watch and listen to. Only the printable Lesson Guides are paid, and the free lessons never require them.
For a Revised Edition, we update the underlying text before recording: we keep the beauty of the original living book and correct its factual errors, outdated science, and dated wording, with every change explained in plain accuracy notes, so you can see exactly what we changed and decide what to share.
For an Enhanced Edition, the original public-domain text stays exactly as written. We keep the author’s own words and add Teacher’s Notes, context, and corrections alongside the reading, so the original book stays at the center of the lesson. Every book page tells you which edition it is.
No. The free video or audio lesson can stand on its own. The Lesson Guide is there for families who want more: it deepens, enriches, and organizes the lesson around the reading, gathering the vocabulary, narration support, copywork, and more into one open-and-go place.
No. We carry the preparation; you keep the relationship. Kindred Thicket holds the structure of the lesson so you can be present with your child, which is exactly what Charlotte Mason hoped for.
