Description
Was England originally formed by William the Conqueror when he took over the country in 1066? Or was the island nation established by Knut the Great who previously brought the separate English kingdoms together under the name of England? What about King Alfred the Great who ruled many years before that? Storyteller Chip Colquhoun explores both facts and folklore in search of the answer in this engaging look at the history of England. Learn about the Angles, Saxons, and Vikings and get to know the influential characters who shaped England before William the Conqueror arrived. With fun black and white illustrations, each chapter ends with a helpful summary of that character's accomplishments and two scoresheets ranking their power, popularity, and influence on the formation of England – one filled in by the author and one for you to fill in yourself. Who do you think really made England? 192 pgs, pb. ~Rachel E.
