Our Island Story: Easy to Read Layout (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9791029913389)

I must tell you, though, that this is not a history lesson, but a story-book. There are many facts in school histories, that seem to children to belong to lessons only. Some of these you will not find here. But you will find some stories that are not to be found in your school books, -stories which wise people say are only fairy tales and not history. But it seems to me that they are part of Our Island Story, and ought not to be forgotten, any more than those stories about which there is no doubt...

First published in 1905, Our Island Story covers the history of England, the greatest nation in the world, from the time of the Roman occupation until Queen Victoria's death.

Printed in large characters for a comfortable reading, this book is an highly recommended resource for adults as well as "boys and girls", and an amazing tool for home schoolers, educators, or any person desiring to educate themselves on British History.
