Excerpt from England's Story for Children Before it was called England its name was Britain, and the people who lived in it were Britons. I am going to tell you how it happened that the name of the country was gradually changed from Britain to England. In those old times it was a very different place from what it is now. So many changes have taken place since the far-off days of which I am speak ing that it must be rather difficult for you to imagine what it was like then, and I shall try to help you to understand it.

Excerpt from Stories Selected From the History of England, From the Conquest to the Revolution: For Children Though I have not followed an historical course, yet I have thought it might be useful to arrange my stories in chronological order, and to Select one, and one only, from each reign; and I have prefixed to each the king's name in Whose reign the facts of the story happened - thus the child may be made acquainted with the names and succession of the Kings of england. The dates which I have prefixed are rather for the use of the parents than of the children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Sunshine and Showers: Stories for the Children of England Sunshine and Showers Two children stood at their father's gate; Two children with golden hair; And their eyes were bright, and their voices glad, Because that the morn was fair; For they said "We will take that long, long walk, To the hawthorn copse, to-day, And gather great bunches of scented flowers From off the scarlet May: And oh! we shall be so happy there, 'T will be sorrow to come away."

Excerpt from An Island Story: A Child's History of England 'What a funny letter, Daddy, ' said Spen, as he looked at the narrow envelope which had just arrived, and listened to the crackle of the thin paper. 'Do you think so?' said Daddy. 'It is from home.' 'From home!' said Spen, laughing, 'why. Daddy, this is home.' 'I mean from the old country, Spen.' 'The old country. Daddy?' said Veda, leaving her dolls and coming to lean against her fathers knee, the old country? What do you mean?' 'I mean "the little island in the west" to which we belong, and where I used to live, said Daddy. 'But this is an island, a great big one, Mother says, so how can we belong to a little island?' asked Spen. 'Well, we do - at least, the big island and the little island belong to each other.' 'Oh, Daddy, do 'splain yourself, you are not splaining yourself at all, ' said Veda. 'Well, ' said Daddy with a sigh, 'long, long ago -' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Little Stories of England There are two reasons why such books as this may well occasionally receive a period Of the regu lar school time. In that way only will the impor tance of general reading be properly impressed upon many pupils. Only in that way, too, will the teacher have opportunity to give needed ideas about the proper method of general reading. Textbooks in school are usually covered so slowly that children rebel if they have preserved enough, individuality to harbor ideas Of their own. And, as a conse quence, any books that they are free to read in their own way they cover altogether too rapidly. They need to learn a middle way. By reading such stories as these with a class, or by talking them over one by one with a class after the latter have read them, the teacher can give many valuable facts about method that will influence all later general reading. Since general reading of books, maga zines, and papers, as distinguished from strenuous study Of a particular text, constitutes the main part of reading for most persons after their school is past, the magnitude Of this matter is easily apparent.

Excerpt from Little Arthur's History of England Though I have not the happiness to be a mother, my love of children has led me to think a good deal about them. Their amusements, and their lessons. This little history was written for a real little arthur, and I have endeavoured to write it nearly as I would tell it to an intelligent child. I well remember what I wanted to be told myself, in addition to what I found in my lesson-book, when I was first allowed to read the History of England, and I hope I have answered most of the questions I recollect to have wished to ask. I may have failed in satisfying the almost bound less inquiries of intelligent children; and I could wish that the mother or governess, who may put this little book into the hands of her pupils, would read each chapter herself before she gives it to a child, that she may be ready with answers to such questions as the chapter may suggest.

Excerpt from A Child's History of England, Vol. 2 But the Englishman did it for all that, and did it - not SO madly but so wisely, that he decoyed the great army into the narrow ill-paved lanes and bye-ways of Lincoln, where its horse-soldiers could not ride in any strong body; and there he made such havoc with them, that the whole force surrendered themselves prisoners, except the Count who said that he would never yield to any English traitor alive, and accordingly got killed. The end of this victory, which the English called, for a joke, the Fair of Lincoln, was the usual one in those times - the common men were slain without any mercy.
