{"product_id":"boys-and-girls-of-history-eileen-power-9780521236065","title":"Boys and Girls of History","description":"Originally published in 1926, the studies in this book illustrate the lives of English children in different historical periods and social contexts. Reconstructions of daily life are used as a means of avoiding the generalised tone employed in many historical accounts, the aim being to develop the young reader's knowledge through a sense of empathy with the figures being described. These figures are a mixture of fictional and real, but all have the basic function of conveying the atmosphere of their age. Highly readable, and containing a large number of beautiful illustrations, the text was co-authored by the renowned medieval historian Eileen Power, together with her sister Rhoda Power. It will be of value to anyone with an interest in early twentieth-century history books for young readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eileen Power,Rhoda Power\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521236061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521236065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Eileen Power","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419062124799,"sku":"9780521236065","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d28cad9-69ef-4dcc-9f5c-5838e56c4aab.jpg?v=1761509208","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boys-and-girls-of-history-eileen-power-9780521236065","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
