The Magna Charta
FROM SARAH:
A lively and interesting history, told in biographical form. Many homeschool curriculums recommend this book. I suggest quickly scanning Cathy Duffy's review to determine if you read more than the first 130 pages. :)
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
It was Ben Franklin who coined the phrase, "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God," and if any historical drama fulfills that maxim, it is surely the saga of King John and the drafting of the Magna Charta. Out of the rich turbulence of English history, June 15, 1215 stands apart as a significant milestone in the progress of human liberty. On that day, a brave band of barons, led by the noble Stephen Langton, and calling themselves the Army of God, stood up to the wicked King John and demanded that he restore the ancient laws of England that he had so unabashedly trampled underfoot.
