Little Arthur's History of England

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Richard II was not so well brought up as he ought to have been....
The inimitable style of Lady
Callcott's history-book made it vastly popular. Since 1835. it has sold nearly a million copies and enthralled generations of children with its blend of fact and legend and its vivid portraits of good and bad kings and queens. In Pamela Howe 's story of the History Brenda Bruce reads some of the best bits and Arthur Marshall recalls his own pleasure as a 'little Arthur'. BBCBristol
