E. Marshall, the celebrated English writer noted for her numerous popular works of history for children. Having written detailed histories of many countries other than America including the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Canada, Scotland, Germany, and France, her books were well-loved for their expansive histories that were presented in a format that both interested and entertained young audiences. In \"This Country of Ours\", Marshall chronicles American history beginning with the Revolutionary War and continuing through World War I. Rather than presenting the history of the nation as a dry recounting of statistics and dates, Marshall instead focused on the nation's distinct regions and the events that both shaped those regions and, in turn, affected the entire nation. The result is a history that captures the character of America, its love for pioneering ideas and innovation, and its unique and diverse citizens.

Notable amongst these include \"Our Island Story\", which is a history of England from the time of the Roman Empire's invasion of England until the death of Queen Victoria, and \"This Country of Ours\", a history of America from the Revolutionary War through World War I. In this work, \"Stories of Beowulf\" the author turns her attention to a retelling of one of England's most famous works, the heroic epic poem \"Beowulf\". This anonymous epic poem, which is written in the tradition of Germanic heroic legend, comes to us from a late 10th century manuscript, although some scholars believed it may have been penned as early as the 7th century. A blending of historical as well as fictional and legendary elements makes this work one of the most fascinating tales of medieval Europe. The classic battles of this epic in which Beowulf fights the Ogre Grendel, the Water Witch, and the dragon are retold here masterfully by Marshall for a younger audience with several wonderful illustrations by J. R. Skelton.
