About this book

For the Story of the Nations series, Sarah Orne Jewett, better known for her New England fiction, wrote this account of the Normans, published in 1898. It begins with the ancient Northmen, their sea-kings and the voyages of the dragon ships, then follows the dukes of Normandy from Rolf the Ganger through William Longsword, Richard the Fearless, Richard the Good and Robert the Magnificent. A chapter on the Normans in Italy and Sicily appears among those listed in the contents.

The title names the conquest of England as its main subject, and the frontispiece shows Falaise, birthplace of William the Conqueror. The book is dedicated to the author's grandfather, Doctor William Perry of Exeter.
