of the long-standing issues in education over the last century in

The Coat stood in a paddock at the end of a row of strawberries. It
was buttoned up tight and stuffed full of straw and it was angry.
'What a waste of me!' it yelled. Then along came a man. 'I could do
with a coat like that,' the man said. Together, swooping and
swinging, they travelled to the Cafe Delitzia, and had the night of
their lives. A bold and original picture book.

King Alfred School in north London was founded in 1898 by a group
of Hampstead radicals in an age of educational experiment and
innovation. Whereas many educational ventures of that era set up by
small groups of idealists soon floundered or quickly lost their
crusading zeal, King Alfred School has developed over the last
century with its original ideals largely unchanged and its
enthusiasm for its distinctive form of education undiminished. This
centenary history of a particularly interesting progressive school
will appeal to a much wider circle than that of the school's old
students. It is a major contribution to the history of progressive
education in Britain which in turn is set in the context of a wider
educational, social and political history. The study is based on a
wide range of sources and is informed by the author's extensive
knowledge of the history of education in the twentieth century, a
field in which he has published widely.
