History of Britain - Softcover

Reseña del editor

'History of Britain' is an informative and highly accessible study of our island's past, from the Stone Age up to the present day, including the Romans, the Normans, the Tudors, the Armada, the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, the British Empire and the First and Second World Wars. Concerned that children nowadays are not being given a comprehensive overview of their own country's history, Coombe has turned such major events and figures into an enthralling narrative. Dates and facts are illuminated by a thoughtful and intelligent commentary and every episode is recounted with a genuine historical enthusiasm that cannot fail to spark the interest of the reader.
