A.S.尼尔（A.S.Neill ，1883—1973） 20世纪最伟大的教育家之一，誉满全球的夏山学校创始人。 夏山学校创办于1921年。作为现代教育史上最著名的学校，被誉为“最富人性化的快乐学校”、“ 因材施教的典范”， 充满了无穷的活力。尼尔认为：“让学校适应学生，而不是让学生适应学校。”他用60年的时间，在夏山学校实践了这个突破传统教育观念的理想。《窗边的小豆豆》的“巴学园”便是以夏山学校为原型创办的。 1960年本书出版后，迅速在全球掀起持续不断的“夏山热潮”，各个国家、各种肤色的儿童纷纷前往夏山就读。本书仅在美国，10年就销售超过200万册，并被600多所大学指定为教育必读书。目前，本书已经被翻译成越来越多的语言，被越来越多的孩子、家长、专家奉为人类不可缺少的教育经典。
