*INTRODUCTORY VOLUMES TO
HARRAP'S
STORY OF ENGLAND SERIES*
*THE CAVE BOY*
Of the Age of Stone. By MARGARET A. M'INTYRE.
Profusely Illustrated. 160 pp. Crown 8vo, 1s.
"The story is written simply, but it teaches a most interesting lesson
in a naturally presented series of adventures which will hold the
attention of a boy or girl. A short appendix explains how the ways of
primitive man have been read from existing evidence; and there are
practical suggestions for teachers who wish to make the most of this
capital book as an introduction to a subject so suggestive along the
lines, not only of social life, but of history, geography and nature
study."--_Education_.
*DAYS BEFORE HISTORY*
By H. R. HALL. With numerous full-page and other Illustrations,
carefully drawn from Models in the British Museum and elsewhere. 160
pp. Crown 8vo, 1s.
Professor J. J. FlNDLAY, M.A., writes in the preface:--"This story
transplants the child to an epoch where men and women are themselves
children--where the problems of life are the simple tasks of economic
existence--food, shelter, clothing. It gives him a practical problem to
achieve, to make pots for the food, to weave cloth for the tent: it
gives him ideas for play, ideas that underlie all the great games in
which mankind finds recreation. I heartily welcome 'Days Before
History' on our children's behalf."
Professor W. BOYD DAWKINS, D.Sc., F.R.S., author of "Early Man in
Britain," writes:--"The story is excellent and true to the facts. The
book fills a gap in the history of Britain."
Mr J. L. PATON, M.A., High Master of the Manchester Grammar School,
writes:--"I was very much pleased with it; read it every word; have
already adopted it at Preparatory Schools, and it comes on next year in
my own Preparatory Form at the Big School."
*CAVE, LAKE, AND MOUND DWELLERS*
By FLORENCE HOLBROOK, author of "The Hiawatha Primer," and "A Book of
Nature Myths." With nearly 100 Illustrations. 140 pp. Crown 8vo, 1s.
This little book covers briefly the whole field of pre-historic life,
and, while not written in story form, like "Days Before History," and
"The Cave Boy," forms an interesting introduction to the subject for
young readers.

HARRAP'S NEW ILLUSTRATED
STORY OF ENGLAND SERIES
In 8 Volumes. Each containing some 256 pages and about 150 Original
Illustrations drawn from the museums, old MSS. and other sources. The
volumes are attractively printed and bound, and the aim has been to
interest as well as to instruct.
Whilst devoting considerable attention to political history, a far
greater space than is usual is given to the social life of the people.
Chapters are devoted to life in a monastery, life in a castle, life in
the towns, and sports and pastimes are adequately treated. Costume and
architecture also receive considerable attention. Whenever possible old
records are quoted in the original words. and family memoirs are often
drawn upon in order to make the narrative more vivid.
