 Text not easily accessible November 4, 2008
Beware, if you're buying this book for children or teens. It was written over 100 years ago and is very dated. I'm sure the content is useful if you can get past the stilted tone, but my 13-year-old couldn't. It's very 19th century school-marm-ish, I'm sorry to say.

Thanks to Yesterday's Classics, this book is once more in print. It is a great way to introduce children--and adults might learn a thing or two--to British history. The conquest of England by William the Conqueror is one of the ten most important battles in Western History and thus had a big impact on America's history. (How do you think we got all those French words in our language, anyway?) But don't worry--the Normans were not really French--they were descendant of the Vikings so having them in England's history isn't THAT bad.
