Comprising approximately 80 poems arranged chronologically, this collection covers the broad sweep of British history from prehistoric times to the present day. With particular emphasis on periods like the Tudors, Victorians and World War II, these poems illuminate key events and provide a fresh perspective on them. It includes excerpts from Anglo-Saxon and medieval ballads, and classics from Chaucer, Tennyson, Kipling, and Auden, as well as poems from some of our best contemporary writers including Benjamin Zephaniah, Charles Causley, Robert Hull, Judith Nicholls and James Berry. Illustrated with black-and-white line drawings, this collection will appeal to those with an interest in history and will make a welcome additional resource for history lessons as well as being an essential title for every school library.
