    About this ebook

    Froebel-Parker's book about Friedrich Froebel and Baroness Bertha von Marenholtz-Buelow is the third in his "Ahnentafel" series. It was preceded by "Friedrich and the First Kindergarten" and "Grandma Harrington and the Queen's Wardrobe." In "The First Kindergarten: Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel & Baroness Bertha Marie von Marenholtz-Buelow" the author expands the story of the founding of Kindergarten to include Friedrich Froebel's tireless friend and advocate, Baroness von Marenholtz-Buelow. Opening the doors of cultural luminaries and European nobility to Froebel's ideas, the noblewoman from the ancient von Buelow family is often dubbed "the mother of Kindergarten" just as Froebel is referred to as "the father of Kindergarten." In this historical novel, which includes much biographical information, Froebel-Parker joins through literature the lives and contributions of two of the world's greatest proponents of children's education which are still relevant today.

    Author

    J (Johannes) Froebel-Parker

    J (Johannes) Froebel-Parker, author of Ahnentafel Series Books, takes us from colonial Salem, Massachusetts, in his last book, "Grandma Rebecka and the Witches' Tree," back to the Tudor Era in England. Inspired by the lives of relatives who appear in paternal and maternal family trees, Froebel-Parker attempts to re-enliven the stories that these ancestors left as a legacy to their descendants and the world. A teacher of English as a new language for adults, the author also taught German and Portuguese as a lecturer at the University at Albany (New York), and English as a second language, kindergarten through twelfth grade, for twenty-eight years in a New York State public school. "Ahnentafel" is the German term for "family tree," which provides unending material for Froebel-Parker's growing body of published work.

      PART 1

      Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel

      (1782-1852)

      Once upon a time in what is today Germany, in a region called Thuringia, in the principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, there was a young boy whose name was Friedrich. His village was nestled in the middle of a beautiful forest. The villagers cultivated flowers and herbs on the surrounding hills. They gathered them to make teas, herbal medicines, salves and perfumes.
