This children's history of the British Isles begins with the early tribal legends of Albion, and takes us through the Roman period, the Dark Ages, Medieval times, and the Tudor, Stuart and later monarchs. A delightful and compelling narration of Britain's lengthy history, Our Island Story is written with the younger reader in mind. It summarizes the most famous deeds that happened across a long time, telling of the great men and women who left their mark on the culture and destiny of the British Isles. The brave defiance of Boudicca of the Iceni tribe versus the Romans; the valiant spirit of Richard Lionheart who led the Third Crusade; and the benevolent wisdom of Queen Elizabeth the first; whose long reign saw England reach new artistic heights while fending off the maritime rival of Spain. In the earlier chapters, H. E. Marshall mixes legend and folklore with the factual events, allowing young readers to appreciate how rich storytelling itself shaped the attitudes of British people and their leaders. King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are the principle example; their valiant deeds in an ancient England would inspire many actual monarchs, since Arthurian legends were very famous in Medieval society. Though this narration is organized by the reigning monarchs, we also hear of the country's many influential artists, explorers, scientists and military heroes through the ages.
Scotland's monarchs have always had a tough job. Their kingdom had ancient roots but rivalry and unrest at home, and hostility across the border, often made the throne an uncomfortable place to be. Some of them failed while others served their nation well. Many died violent deaths as did Scottish folk hero, William Wallace.This book guides us through Scottish history from the Celtic era up to the present and sheds light upon some of Scotland's most interesting monarchs and heroes.Names include: Rob Roy MacGregor, Bonny Prince Charlie, Mary, Queen of Scots, William Wallace, James VI, Robert the Bruce and Macbeth.
Slithering stoorworms, mischievous brownies, fierce kelpies and magical selkies are exquisitely brought to life for children in Theresa Breslin's enchanting tales and Kate Leiper's otherwordly illustrations.
