More than a quarter of a century ago, Joan Freeman began this study
of 210 children, comparing the recognized gifted, the unrecognized
gifted and their classmates. This book: describes what happened to
them and their families as they grew up and coped with their
different circumstances. It also looks at the problems they faced,
often described in their own words and contains personal details
from in-depth interviews in homes and schools all over Britain,
which are at times startling and sometimes depressing. It lays to
rest many myths about the development of gifted children.
The book offers insights into the special situations of the gifted
and points out much needed changes in their care and education. It
is not only important for their own fulfillment and happiness, but
for the future of society.
