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 colour 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.
