"I was given [Henrietta] Marshall's Our Island Story at Christmas 1936…and I've still got that copy…It was a direct inspiration for me in my career as a historian."
Antonia Fraser, New York Times bestselling author
"The reason that parents will go to such lengths to try to track down copies of Our Island Story is because of the sheer quality of the writing. Telling a story from history might be old-fashioned, but it stimulates a child's imagination like nothing else."
Sunday Times (London)
"Our Island Story is a marvelous antidote to the fractured, incoherent history most primary school children are taught today."
Daily Telegraph (London)
