Synopsis
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.
