Heroes of the Ages
3s. 6d. net
This Series aims to bring before the imagination of boys and girls the outstanding heroic figures of the past. All children, young and old, love a hero, and in this respect human nature has not changed since the remote times when nothing was more certain of applause in the feast-hall than the song of a hero's deeds.
Some of the heroes told about in these volumes are historic, and their deeds are, more or less, matters of exact knowledge; others, and they are no less dear to us, stand partly in the mist, and their valour and achievements have probably lost nothing during the passage of years.
In the preparation of these books no opportunity is lost of bringing forward those aspects of the stories which are calculated to be helpful in suggesting that which is worthy and of good repute, but there is, of course, no attempt at moralizing, and the narrative is left to inculcate its own moral lessons.
The illustrations are all artistic, and they are of the kind to appeal to boys and girls.
