About this book
Reviews
'Many people with an enthusiasm for history form their impressions of it by childhood reading. This book shows clearly how complex the portraits of the British past given in children's literature actually are, and how culturally and ideologically loaded. It is one of those works which both vindicate and reinforce the importance of their subject.'
Ronald Hutton, Professor of History, University of Bristol, UK
