The Golden Thread Life and Legacy of Elisabeth Caspari, Montessori Pioneer - Paperback
Description
by Mary Ellen Maunz (Author)
The Golden Thread shares the remarkable life story and achievements of this woman whose life spanned three centuries (1898-2002) . Born in a beautiful mountain village in Switzerland, she spent 15 years in bed due to illness that prevented her from walking and went on to travel the world. She founded a world renown school of music that served the needs of children of crowned heads of Europe.
Caspari and her husband traveled for more than a decade in India, where Elisabeth became a student and friend of Maria Montessori, which changed the trajectory of her life. After 11 years in India, the Casparis decided to move to America, where Elisabeth began Wee Wisdom Garden Montessori School in 1951, the first in the United States after several decades of dormancy.
She began a new phase of her life in 1980, when she met the author and the two began a close association and a Montessori training program.
