Synopsis

“Parliament never visualised a Mrs Baker.”So said an eminent Q.C. in 1961 about the extraordinary woman who defied the British education system and won. For ten relentless years, Joy Baker stood alone—battling magistrates, judges, and ultimately the Lord Chief Justice—for the right to educate her children at home.In this powerful memoir, Baker recounts her landmark legal fight with raw honesty and sharp wit. But this is more than just a courtroom drama—it’s a bold indictment of compulsory education and a passionate defence of parental rights and childhood freedom.First published decades ago, Children in Chancery is more urgent than ever. As home educators today face renewed pressure and proposed restrictions, Baker’s story serves as both a warning and an inspiration. Her fierce maternal love, unshakable resolve, and final victory remain a beacon for families who believe education should serve the child—not the system.
