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 color 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."
