Maria Montessori Writes to Her Grandchildren: Letters from India, 1939–1946

---

This book presents a collection of letters written by Maria Montessori to her grandchildren during her stay in India between 1939 and 1946, a period marked by World War II and major global change. In these letters, Montessori shares personal reflections, family stories, daily experiences, and thoughts about her educational work while living abroad. She describes her interactions with Indian educators, her involvement in teacher training, and her efforts to continue developing the Montessori method despite political and social challenges. The correspondence reveals her resilience, spirituality, and deep commitment to children’s education. The book also provides valuable historical context about Montessori’s life in exile and her contribution to the international spread of progressive education. It serves as an important primary source for educators, researchers, and readers interested in the personal and professional journey of Maria Montessori.
