Libres enfants de Summerhill es un libro sobre la escuela Summerhill, escrito por su director A. S. Neill. El libro explora la filosofía educativa de Neill, centrada en la autogestión y la libertad de los niños para elegir si asisten a las clases y cómo quieren vivir, siempre y cuando no impongan su voluntad a los demás. Fundada en la década de 1920, Summerhill se gestiona como una democracia infantil donde las reglas se establecen en reuniones semanales en las que tanto estudiantes como profesores tienen el mismo derecho a voto. Neill rechaza otras pedagogías en favor de la bondad innata del niño. El libro, que es una recopilación de cuatro obras anteriores de Neill, tuvo un gran impacto en Estados Unidos, vendiendo millones de copias y utilizándose en numerosos cursos universitarios.

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.
