So much history! submitted by pk on August 6, 2018, 12:50pm So much history in so few pages! Parts of this were hard for me to follow - might have been easier if I knew just a little more about some older groups of people living/invading the area we know as England. Overall I enjoyed learning so much about the history of this country.
