SynopsisA 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., Some of today's greatest historians, including Antonia Fraser, found lifelong inspiration in H. E. Marshall's classic. First published in 1905, it combines truth and legend to create a lively narrative history of England from the Roman era until Queen Victoria's death. And this new illustrated edition, featuring vivid color art, is attractive and appealing. Every tale will capture the imagination of children and adults alike, including the myth of Albion and Brutus, in which the Roman gods first see the scept'rd is the founding of King Arthur's Round Tab the Battle of Hastings, and the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie.
