Kings and Things
by H E Marshall Author
(From Amazon): "Kings and Things" was first published in 1937 as a light-hearted romp through British History, to be read by parents to their children 'in the Story Hour which so often precedes the tragic necessity of 'going to bed". H E Marshall, best known for her classic History, "Our Island Story", takes us through the highs and lows of British History with a light, humorous touch which should appeal as much to the adults as to the children.
