Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company is owned by the 11 great-grandchildren of Maria Montessori. The company was established in 2006 when Renilde Montessori asked Alexander Henny to start a publishing company to translate and publish work from the Maria Montessori Archives. The new Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company took over 15 English language titles from publisher ABC-Clio and subsequently edited and modernized each book. Thirteen new titles were added from the Archives, including one diary and two books of letters by Maria Montessori.
In addition, Montessori-Pierson has published 18 books in Spanish and 6 books in Dutch. The Company has publishing contracts for translations and publishing rights of Maria Montessori’s books in many other languages including, Italian, French, German and most other European languages as well as Russian, Japanese, Urdu, Arabian, Vietnamese, etc.

A Note From Alexander Henny…
We strongly believe in the written words of Maria Montessori.
We want everyone who is interested in Montessori Education to read the words written by Maria Montessori about her philosophy, pedagogy, and peace. Our ambition is that our books will be available to everyone who is interested in Montessori Education. To realize this dream we need the help of all the Montessori associations and Montessori Training Centres in the world.
