About this book

The Story of Nelson is a children's life of Admiral Horatio Nelson, written by Edmund Francis Sellar for the popular Told to the Children series of the early 1900s.

The book is written to stir young readers with a sense of courage and duty while keeping the facts of Nelson's career straight. This free PDF and EPUB gives the complete illustrated biography, a gentle introduction to naval history for children and families.
