Much loved by generations of children, Our Island Story is a classic children s history of Britain from the Romans to the death of Queen Victoria. First published in 1905, H. E. Marshall s beautifully written narrative fell out of print after decades of popularity. But one hundred years after it was first published, Our Island Story , one of the most popular and inspirational books of its time, has become a modern day bestseller. Galore Park Publishing, in association with Civitas, reissued this classic children s history book over fifty years after it was last in print. The response from the public and the media was terrific and a staggering 20,000 copies were sold within the first week of publication. Such an incredible response to this book is unsurprising to H. E. Marshall fans the world over.
