H.A. Guerber's treasured history of England, updated with over 55 classic works of art.

Beloved historian and storyteller Helene Guerber brings the history of an island alive with rich historical accounts told in engaging narrative form. First published in 1898, this living book provides students with a thorough yet succinct foundation for a fascinating time in history, lavishly illustrated with historical art such as illuminated manuscripts, as well as later cultural depictions of the events therein.

Ms. Guerber's accounts begin with the early Bretons, the Druids, the Celts, the Romans and the Danes. We meet King Arthur, Alfred, Canute, Queen Boadicea, Eleanor and Matilda. The narrative continues with the Conquest, the Great Charter, the Hundred Years' War, the Wars of the Roses, the English Civil War and the Commonwealth. During these chapters, we encounter monarchs Edward, Henry, Elizabeth, Mary and Charles. The book concludes during the reign of Queen Victoria.

This history is brought to life with full color paintings from Daniel Maclise, Angelica Kauffman, Edmund Blair Leighton, Paul Delaroche, Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Madox Brown, Hans Holbein the Younger and more. As with all Nourished Upon Ideas titles, artwork has been carefully selected to be suitable for all ages. This edition has been updated with expanded historical dates.
