"No fiction or fairy tale that was ever written possesses more thrill and romance than the struggles, the failures, the adventures, and the triumphs of the British people. In this book the dry bones of history have been made to live again by the magic of story-telling. Its author's intention has not been to produce a disguised school text-book, but to kindle enthusiasm for the deeds of heroism, self-sacrifice, and devotion to duty which have thrilled and inspired the people of this country since the days of Boadicca. The stories were originally broadcast by the B.B.C. with great success.". Good/Good.
