A History of England by H. O. Arnold-Forster, edited by Blossom Barden
Complete in one volume, available in hardcover or paperback.
708 pages with original maps and footnotes, with additional footnotes; standard 6x9. Portion of this book is used in Early English History and English Renaissance & Reformation History.
A book "written in simple language, sufficiently full to serve for reference, and at the same time sufficiently interesting to be read as well as to be consulted," was the purpose of H. O. Arnold-Forster when he condensed his previously published series, "Things New and Old" into one volume. This book covers the time of Julius Caesar's landing in "Britannia" in 55 B.C. to the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 A. D. It includes the original maps and notes along with additional editorial footnotes. H. O. Arnold-Forster's book was used in Charlotte Mason's schools for the study of English history. Although originally published over 100 years ago, the characters and events are worthy of study today. The past is presented in a way that allows the present to be enriched with the wealth of all that has gone before.

Chaucer's Canterbury Tales for Children: A Golden Key by M. E. Haweis, edited by Blossom Barden
236 pages, color images, standard 6.9.
Also available in Black & White version.
Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400), known as the Father of English Literature, is widely considered the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages. In this book by M. E. Haweis, children are introduced to this poet and his major literary work, The Canterbury Tales, as well as a few of his lesser known poems. "Canterbury Tales are full of cheerfulness and fun; full of love for the beautiful world, and full of sympathy for all who are in trouble or misery. In this book you will find two versions of Chaucer's poetry. First, the lines as Chaucer wrote them are presented, and then the same lines in English as we speak. You can thus look at both, and compare them. A few of Chaucer's other poems are included at the end of the book." - M. E. Haweis
