Sintesi dell'editore
H. E. Marshall’s classic children’s chronicle of Britain, Our Island Story, includes all the best-loved (and most infamous!) stories from history: King Alfred and the cakes, King John and the Magna Carta, Lord Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar, Queen Elizabeth and the Spanish Armada, and many others. This recording contains the complete and unabridged text, released previously in separate volumes. It is read with aplomb by Anna Bentinck and Daniel Philpott.

This IS COMPLETE
Unlike another reviewer said, this version IS COMPLETE. It contains all 110 chapters that are in the book. Being Americans, I also appreciate my children being able to hear a British accent, unlike other versions. We are listening to this as part of the AmblesideOnline curriculum. We LOVE the stories!

NOT Complete at all!
What would have made Our Island Story (Complete) better?
This only has 34 of 110 chapters. When it says complete, I expect complete.

Excellent, although chapters 111-114 are omitted
Slight differences in wording from my print version throughout. Chapter 110 is VERY different, and chapters 111-114, which are in the print version, are missing. I assume there is some explanation relating to editions or copyright, but not sure what it is.

Good but it is for kids
I read this maybe when I was about 11 or 12 and when I saw it got it for nostalgic reasons. It does give a brief history of Britain and the narration is fine but it is for children. As an adult you'll find it to be too brief and also it's summary of someone being a "bad" man somewhat childish. If you want a more adult British history book then go for Dave Starkey's Crown and Country.
Great for kids though :-)

History in a nutshell
What made the experience of listening to Our Island Story (Complete) the most enjoyable?
I wanted to learn more about our heritage, and this gives a great start without all the intricate (and sometimes boring) bits.
What other book might you compare Our Island Story (Complete) to, and why?
Grown up history books can be so complicated, this is a great timeline of British History in a very manageable style.
What about Daniel Philpott and Anna Bentinck ’s performance did you like?
Although this is a childrens book the narration is great to listen to even as an adult
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
How great is our nation
Any additional comments?
I love the bit in the introduction that says 'when you find out how much has been left untold in this little book, do not be cross, but remember that, when you very small, you would not have been able to ubderstand things that seem quite simple and very interesting to you as you grow older.'

Interesting and excellent value
Would you listen to Our Island Story (Complete) again? Why?
Yes! We have listened to it lots of times. It's a great story but also super educational. My children really enjoy it, and so do I.
What other book might you compare Our Island Story (Complete) to, and why?
The Story of the World is a similar look at history but throughout the world, rather than just Britain.

Inaccurate and infantile
If you have any sense or knowledge of history please don't download this. It is badly written and inaccurate on many points. We managed to bear the first chapter before giving up and moving on to David Starkey's Monarchy which both children and adults enjoyed much more

Unashamedly Anti-Catholic
This book is shockingly and unashamedly anti-Catholic. Having listened to it I can understand how English children were trained in animosity toward Catholics. I cannot believe it is still being recommended today.
