| RICHARD III OF ENGLAND |
Stories from English History
Authors: Alfred J. Church
Publisher: McMillan & Co., New York
Dates: 1895–1896
This three volume collection of famous stories from English History
is intended to provide the intermediate student with a moderately
detailed version of some of the more famous episodes in English
history. It is not a comprehensive history, in that much is left
out, and the stories are not necessarily related in a continuous
narrative, but each, taken on its own, is entertaining and informative.
The History of England is broken into three periods as follows: Vol I:
From Julius Caesar to the Black Prince (54 B.C. to 1360 A.D.);
Vol II: From Richard II to Charles I (1360 to 1649); Vol III:
From the Lord Protector to Queen Victoria (1649 to 1900).
