Media Reviews
Praise for H E Marshall A miniature masterpiece Stephen Fry Astonishingly accurate, quite brilliant! David Starkey Extraordinarily evocative to a child's imagination Lady Antonia Fraser Stimulates a child's imagination like nothing else Andrew Roberts Our Island Story must rank as one of the most influential works of history of the 20th century.

Author Bio
Surprisingly little is known about the life of Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall. She is thought to have been born in 1867, but the date of her death is unknown. She concealed her gender using the initials H. E. in her writing. Her most widely read book, Our Island Story, was first published in 1905 and went through many editions. She penned several other books including Our Empire Story and King's and Things, the latter of which was also recently republished by Galore Park.
