This is a collection of historical stories about real people and real events. Andrew Lang (1844-1912), a Scottish author and literary critic, is the editor of this book and has compiled extracts of historical accounts by other authors for this work. In his Introduction, Lang expresses his hope that children (his target audience) will find these stories interesting even if they are not fiction. He also clarifies that he wishes to present this work as a compendium of historical accounts (instead of a chronological or thematic history, for example) that have no moral lesson attached to them.
