Libres enfants de Summerhill es un libro sobre la escuela Summerhill, una escuela internado inglesa, escrito por su director A. S. Neill. El libro presenta las ideas de Neill al público, destacando su filosofía educativa de autorregulación, donde los niños eligen si asistir a las lecciones y cómo vivir libremente sin imponerse a los demás. La escuela se gestiona como una democracia infantil, donde las reglas se establecen en una reunión semanal en la que estudiantes y profesores tienen el mismo derecho a voto. Neill descartó otras pedagogías en favor de la bondad innata del niño. El libro ha sido traducido a varios idiomas y ha tenido un impacto significativo en el campo de la educación.
Alexander Sutherland Neill was a Scottish educator and author known for his school, Summerhill, and its philosophy of freedom from adult coercion and community self-governance. Raised in Scotland, Neill taught at several schools before attending the University of Edinburgh in 1908–1912. He took two jobs in journalism before World War I, and taught at Gretna Green Village School in the second year of the war, writing his first book, A Dominie's Log (1915), as a diary of his life there as head teacher. He joined a Dresden school in 1921 and founded Summerhill on returning to England in 1924. Summerhill gained renown in the 1930s and then in the 1960s–1970s, due to progressive and counter-culture interest. Neill wrote 20 books. His top seller was the 1960 Summerhill, read widely in the free school movement from the 1960s.
