About this book
Seventy-nine short stories carry children through world history in this book by V. M. Hillyer, head master of the Calvert School in Baltimore. They run from the start of the world and early humans through Egypt's tomb-builders, ancient Greece and Rome, Arabia, castles and knights, a sailor who found a new world, Queen Elizabeth, and America's break with its king. The last stories reach the First World War and the present day. Carle Michel Boog and M. S. Wright drew the illustrations, and a preface addressed to adults explains the aim of widening a child's horizon.
