📘 The red true story book

by Henry Justice Ford

Romanticized accounts of battles, conquests, shipwrecks, torture and other occasions for heroism. The stories are taken from a variety of sources, and a wide range of European history, and the sympathy is not always for the Europeans (although mostly so). It is worth remembering that many of the children who read this book when it first came out would have gone on to die in the trenches of the First World War.
