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.
Excellent as a companion to a chronological study of English
literature. Suitable for ages 12 and up.
Just over a century ago, Our Island Story entranced a nation's
children by telling their history in stories. Short, simply written
chapters, packed with living characters and thrilling action - and
illustrated with vivid colour pictures - illuminate all the main
events from Britain's earliest days to the end of Victoria's reign.
And its glorious fusion of myth and legend with sober fact - Canute
and King Arthur with Cromwell and the Indian Mutiny - is as
seductive now as it ever was. 'I was given H.E. Marshall's Our
Island Story at Christmas 1936 and I've still got that copy. It was
a direct inspiration for me in my career as a historian' Antonia
Fraser 'It is written in a way that really captured my imagination
and which nurtured my interest in the history of our great nation'
David Cameron 'One of the most influential works of history of the
20th century' Times Educational Supplement
A child's history of England from earliest legendary times
delightfully retold. Beginning with the stories of Albion and
Brutus, it relates all the interesting legends and hero tales in
which the history of England abounds through the end of the reign
of Queen Victoria. Suitable for children ages 9 and up to read to
themselves and for children as young as 6 as a read-aloud.
