Dear Friends,
I am interested in learning about the Charlotte Mason approach to homeschooling. Any book or website recommendations? There seems an abundance of information available, and I could benefit from personal recommendations.
Many thanks!

You mean, other than here? 
Definitely read Elizabeth's book, Real Learning; then read Charlotte Mason's volumes or Karen Andreola's A Charlotte Mason Companion.
A website that's great (AND FREE  ) is Michele Qs and Kathryn Fs Mater Amabilis which will give you a good idea of a yearly curriculum for teaching/learning the CM way.
That should keep you busy, yes?

I really liked the ABC's of Charlotte Mason, and I adore Penny Gardner's site, very inspiring!
But I must agree with Mary G, the best of the best is right here!

I just read A Charlotte Mason Education and that gave a quick intro. I love my copy of A Charlotte Mason Companion. I haven't read Real Learning yet but it's on my list!

I have to second this -- I've read and re-read it probably 5 or 6 times and everytime I take something new away. It's a nice, gentle intro to CM with a Catholic worldview that makes it especially appealing to me. And we "know" the author

I tried to find Real Learning through ILL but couldn't find it. I searched MNLiNK though and was able to find it so its on its way. I'm looking forward to reading through it.
