Our Empire Story - H.E. Marshall  -  $39.95 

It was said that the sun never set on the British Empire. Here is a picturesque account of the principal events in the building of the British Empire. Traces the development of the colonies from the days of discovery and settlement, through to the establishment of government by 1900. Includes the stories of Canada (21 chapters), Australia (9 good chapters), New Zealand (12 chapters), India (from Alexander the Great to the 1870s - 27 chapters), South Africa (18 chapters). Of course this is a last century British view, but, in my opinion, it is still very much worthwhile history which will appeal to children.
