History

The Story of Robert the Bruce

A classic work originally directed at younger readers dealing with the life and achievements of King Robert I of Scotland (1274-1329), popularly known as Robert the Bruce. One of the most famous Scottish warriors of all time, his unfailing efforts to achieve Scottish independence were eventually rewarded with success, and he became king in 1309 and reigned until his death. This tale, drawn upon original chronicler sources, reveals much of Robert's background, his travels, adventures-and of the many incredible characters on both English and Scottish sides during their wars. From Bruce's famous "never give up" lesson from a spider, the fighting bishop, numerous bloody battles, and through to his tragic death due to leprosy, this fascinating work details all the major events in the life of Scotland's national hero. In the words of the author: "It is to Robert the Bruce that we who live north of the Tweed owe our freedom. More than that we owe to him. "For in the loneliest colonies of the farthest off lands in which the Union Jack has been unfurled, we are very sure to find Britons, much of whose pluck, patience, and power of endurance comes from the fact that their forebears had to fight hard to win and to hold their rights as freemen. "It is a proud thing for any boy to know himself to be one of the descendants of those who, through evil times, were true to their country and their king, and who fought and died on the field of Bannockburn." This version has been completely reset, hand-edited and contains all the original magnificently reproduced illustrations, drawn originally by F. M. B. Blaikie.

Stories from the Faerie Queen Told to the Children

A masterful retelling of the major stories contained in Edmund Spenser's classic English epic poem, The Faerie Queen. This work is based on the original 1590 book which is one of the longest poems in the English language. The stories were collected by Spenser and rearranged in an allegorical work which represented much of Elizabethan society, focusing on the virtues of several knights and their adventures. As Spenser wrote of his original work, the aim of the poem was to "fashion a gentleman or noble person in virtuous and gentle discipline." This edition, aimed primarily at younger readers, takes on the form of a more conventional book, and includes many of the classic stories which have achieved almost legendary status, such as the story of St. George and the Dragon, and Una and the Lion. It is a vital work for anyone seeking a well-rounded classical education. This version has been completely reset and hand-edited and contains all the original illustrations by Rose Le Quesne.
