РІР‚СљOh, Daddy, do РІР‚Вsplain yourself, you are not РІР‚Вsplaining yourself at all,РІР‚Сњ said Veda. I think I must ask some one else to tell it to you.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљYes,РІР‚Сњ said Daddy, РІР‚СљitРІР‚в„ўs a story, and a very long one, too. I hope it will interest not only the children in this big island, but some of the children in РІР‚Сљthe little island in the west,РІР‚Сњ too.

But it seems to me that they are part of Our Island Story, and ought not to be forgotten, any more than those stories about which there is no doubt.Р”Р„nd Daddy did ask some one else, and here is the story as it was told to Spen and Veda. But you will find some stories that are not to be found in your school books,РІР‚вЂњstories which wise people say are only fairy tales and not history. There are many facts in school histories, that seem to children to belong to lessons only. I must tell you, though, that this is not a history lesson, but a story-book. So, although I hope you will not put this book beside your school books, but quite at the other end of the shelf, beside Robinson Crusoe and A NoahРІР‚в„ўs Ark Geography, I hope, too, that it will help you to like your school history books better than ever, and that, when you grow up, you will want to read for yourselves the beautiful big histories which have helped me to write this little book for little people. Remember, too, that I was not trying to teach you, but only to tell a story. Then, when you find out how much has been left untold in this little book, do not be cross, but remember that, when you were very small, you would not have been able to understand things that seem quite simple and very interesting to you as you grow older.
