First published in 1954, Children of the New Estate by Gladys Kendon offers a vivid and insightful account of life in a primary school on a modern housing estate. Drawing from her experiences as a teacher, Kendon explores the challenges of engaging children shaped by permissive, yet devitalizing, social environments. With a blend of humor, honesty, and reflection, this compelling narrative delves into the complexities of education, social change, and the evolving dynamics between children and their surroundings. This book will be of interest to researchers of history of education.
