A Pageant of Kings and Queens was first published in 1937,
coinciding with the coronation of King George VI and Queen
Elizabeth. Intended for young readers, the book traces the history
of the English monarchy from early Anglo-Saxon times to the first
part of the twentieth century. It relates the triumphs and failures
of English monarchs of the past, the duties that they performed at
different periods of history, and the new responsibilities which
contributed to the preservation of the monarchy. Written in a
lively, readable style and containing numerous vignettes and
full-page illustrations, this volume is a fine example of
twentieth-century books for children on the subject of the British
monarchy.
