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. In short, clear chapters it follows Britain's most famous sailor from a Norfolk parsonage to the quarterdeck, through the loss of an arm and an eye, to his great victories at the Nile, Copenhagen, and finally Trafalgar, where he died in the hour of triumph. The book is written to stir young readers with a sense of courage and duty while keeping the facts of Nelson's career straight.
