Small format buff matt boards with blue lettering and decs in pictorial dustwrapper; 52pp; colour ills; pictorial endpapers.

Many of the illustrations in this series were by Harry Wingfield, John Berry, Martin Aitchison, Frank Hampson and Charles Tunnicliffe.

Of course, there are some aspect of British history which need parental inputs, but overall an excellent way to encourage children to learn history.
