Our Island Story by H. E. Marshall is an Edwardian history book for younger listeners (aged six-twelve) which tells the story of England. Volume 2 begins with the creation of the Magna Carta and ends with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
Antonia Fraser and many other current historians declare that it was this book that opened the delights of history for them. Though slightly edited to take account of historical changes and attitudes, it is presented here unabridged.
