A picture book of brief true tales from British history for very young readers. Charles II hides in the Royal Oak, Flora MacDonald shelters Bonnie Prince Charlie, Nelson dies in Hardy’s arms, James Watt watches his kettle, Grace Darling rows to a wreck, and the burghers of Calais are spared by Queen Philippa.
An Edwardian nursery history whose imperial outlook belongs to its time, with the feel of an old picture book. Download the free EPUB.
