Our Island Story (B&W) by Henrietta Marshall
Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall (1867- 1941) was a British author, particularly well known for her works of popular national history for children. She was educated at a girls' boarding school called Laurel Bank, in Melrose. As is made clear by the prefaces of her books from time to time, she travelled extensively after 1904. H. E. Marshall is famous for the 1905 children's history of England, Our Island Story: A History of England for Boys and Girls, illustrated by A. S. Forrest. In the USA the book was entitled An Island Story. The book was a bestseller, was printed in numerous editions, and for fifty years was the standard and much-loved book by which children learned the history of England. The book is still to be found in schools and homes.Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall, a prominent author of children's history books a century ago, is suddenly regaining prominence. Our Island Tale, A History of England for Boys and Girls was originally published in 1905, and was immediately followed by Scotland's Story in 1906 and Our Imperial Story in 1908. A History of France, A History of Germany, This Land of Ours, and English Literature for Boys and Girls are among her other works. She also contributed to the critically acclaimed Told to the Children series, writing The Tale of Napoleon and The Story of Cromwell for the Children's Heroes series.
