I don't know if we Yanks can buy them direct from the UK publisher, but I'm seeing them listed at the US Amazon site.  The first volume, "Early Times To 1485" is not shown (yet) at the UK publisher's site and also is indicated as being 'unavailable' at the US Amazon site.  If the publisher doesn't reissue the first volume, you can probably still get original copies on eBay.

We can recover what was lost. Make sure your children read these books, and encourage this fine enterprise.

Looks neat. I wonder how it addresses the American Revolution and the War of 1812?

[Bigg Red]

The revolutionaries knew that one of the things they had to destroy was the decent, modest patriotism that had until then been pretty much universal. How better to do that than to slander our past and conceal it?

Same as the plan implemented here in the US.

Peter (the good brother) Hitchen’s reference to Poland is apt. He suggests that since Poland recovered in a generation from the devastation rained on it, Britain could recover too from its present morass.

I would hope so, but there are differences. Pre-war Poland was torn by “diversity.” About thirty percent of its population were minorities, often with divided loyalties. Post-war Poland is virtually homogeneous. Britain today is wallowing in diversity.

Poland has two other strengths, nationalism and religion. Nationalism is systematically suppressed in Britain and religion has virtually vanished.

Richard III was framed!

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

I would have liked my own children to learn such proper history, except that by the time I found out the sort of confusing, demoralising trash that passes for history in today’s schools, it was too late.

I am in awe of England and the English people. At least the England that once was.

Could they ever make a movie like "The White Cliffs of Dover" again?

Highly recommended for those that want to be inspired by England's honor, bravery and sense of duty during two world wars.

Absolutely awe inspiring.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Stoat. I wondered what had become of the histories I had studied. They had vanished in some vast Sixties bonfire, in many ways as bad as Hitler's book burnings, part of the great destruction of knowledge and continuity that took place in that accursed decade... Now, the publishers Stacey International have had the superb idea of reprinting the fine, elegantly written school histories of Carter and Mears, whose rediscovered pages took me back in an instant to a long-ago classroom. Reading them now, I find many things that I had forgotten come to life again in my memory. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

I’m a history teacher. I just ordered a class set. Now I need to work out if there’s money in the budget so I don’t end up paying for it myself. If I have to, I will.

It wasn't so long ago that for a time Britain stood alone against the forces of darkness.
