      This Ladybird Book about the story of Napoleon is a gem from the Ladybird vintage archive. First published in 1968, this is a classic Ladybird hardback book, packed with information about one of the most famous soldiers in history. This new edition, published alongside the Story of Nelson two hundred years after the Battle of Waterloo, is exactly the same as the original, with a dust jacket and beautifully reproduced images. The story of Napoleon is told dramatically by L. du Garde Peach, and his adventures are wonderfully illustrated throughout the book.

      Henry VIII was very popular with his subjects at the beginning of his reign. He was young, handsome, friendly with everybody, and athletic. But he was selfish, and when unable to get what he wanted, very cruel. He was, however, a patriotic Englishman and we have much to thank him for today.

      John was probably the worst King ever to occupy the throne of England. He tried to deceive everybody, and was trusted by none. His reign was disastrous, but it remains one of the most important in the history of the English-speaking people: this book will tell you why
