H. E. Marshall's lively and spectacular history of the United
States from its tumultuous inception through to World War I is
available anew in this comprehensive edition. Using her wealth of
experience as a historian of nations, H. E. Marshall set out in
1917 to chronicle North America's history from the colonial era
onward. Rather than opt for a straightforward chronological
exploration of the USA's evolution and growth as a nation, Marshall
instead opted to tell stories peculiar to each of the regions, as
well as events with important ramifications for the entire country.
The book is therefore divided into seven principal parts, each of
which contains numerous chapters that relate a particular episode
of American history. Marshall begins with the colonial period and
the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus, and
thereafter details the arrival of the British, then the French and
Spanish, to North American shores.
This book presents a vivid account of the building of the British
Empire. The colonies are described from when they are first
discovered through their exploration, settlement and government.
This book includes the five large areas of the Empire - India,
South Africa, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This book is
suitable for children aged 10 and above.
English Literature for Young People is an introduction to the great
works of English literature. H. E. Marshall's story of England 's

1500 years of the literary arts in Great Britain, extending from
early Irish legends through the Golden Age of English letters to
the modern age.The Living Books Press hardcover edition is a
republication of the 1909 edition, English Literature for Boys and
Girls. Our edition has been significantly revised and expanded to
improve its use as a study text. Added are a biography of the
author, an expanded Chronology of Writers, a bibliography of books
recommended by the author, maps of the British Isles, an expanded

Delightful introduction to the writers of English literature whose
works hold the greatest appeal for the youthful reader. The life
and personality of each author is given in outline, with enough
material quoted from his works to give an idea of what he wrote.
For most authors suggestions for further reading are included. The
outline of historical background enables the young reader to grasp
the connection between the literature and the life of the time.

Presents the broader movements of European history, emphasizing the
main factors which have gone into the formation and development of
the various European states from the fall of the Roman Empire to
the Reformation. The history of England is included only when that
country plays a prominent part in the politics of Europe. A full
treatment of the period immediately following the fall of the Roman
Empire is given, since that period provides the necessary key to
future developments. For smoother reading, dates are relegated to
the margin for the most part. Maps, timelines, and genealogy charts
of the various royal houses of Europe contribute to making this
book an excellent resource for the study of the Middle Ages in
Europe. Suitable for ages 14 and up.
