The history of Britain from its early days until the 1950s is described here, largely in pictures. Clarke Hutton has traced with humour and inspiration, the significant events throughout the ages. His glorious illustration follows the varying fashions in architecture, dress and transport and brings them to life for anyone who reads this book. It is a child's dream book of history - and no doubt many adults will also enjoy his evocation of bygone times.
