The book Days of Adventure is in three sections. It's bit of ragbag really. The last 15 chapters look at homes through the ages and the second 15 (sounds like a rugby team) life in the middle ages. The first and most interesting section is headed heroes and heroines and I seem to remember doing this section when I was in primary school. Those covered are
Caradoc
Boadicea
Hereward the Wake
Llewellyn
Joan of Arc
Richard Grenville
General Wolfe
Clive of India
Lord Nelson
Florence Nightingale
David Livingstone
Mary Slessor
Scott of the Antarctic, etc
Edith Cavell
Hunt, Hillary and Tensing
Brilliant list and all presented in the usual way.
