First published in 1928, the studies in this book illustrate the
lives of children within various different times and social
contexts. Created following the enthusiastic response which greeted
the original Boys and Girls of History, this volume concentrates on
the period subsequent to the Middle Ages in the history of Britain
and home and overseas. As with the original, reconstructions of
daily life are used as a means of avoiding the generalised tone
employed in many historical accounts, the aim being to develop the
young reader's knowledge through a sense of empathy with the
figures being described. Highly readable, and containing a large
number of beautiful illustrations, the text was again co-authored
by the renowned historian Eileen Power, together with her sister
Rhoda Power. It will be of value to anyone with an interest in
early twentieth-century history books for young readers.
