The second volume in a five-part series telling the story of Great Britain's history, from its earliest beginnings to World War I
Much loved by generations of children, this is a classic children's history of Britain from the Romans to the death of Queen Victoria. First published in 1905, Henrietta Marshall's beautifully written narrative is based on her answers to her children's questions about the history of Great Britain, which they referred to as "home island."
Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall (1867–1941) was a British author, most famous for her works of history for children.
