Our Island History Book

We have been watching the 1960 "Shakespeare's An Age of Kings" series. To help keep the kings straight in the plays, I got out this book that we'd used as one of our homeschool history books. Despite the fact that it was first published in 1905 (or perhaps because it was written then), it is an excellent resource for adults as well as "boys and girls". Presented chronologically, each historical event and king or queen is presented with basic facts and associated myths. At some point I may even understand the Wars of the Roses!

It works hand-in-hand very nicely with Shakespeare's historical plays. Highly recommended!
