London:: Blackie & Son, 1960.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: turquoise cloth with blue text; the top edge stain is dark blue; this book was given as a school award, and has the presentation certificate pasted to the reverse side of the frontis; a Good book, with a Fair dust jacket; the jacket is price clipped.. small 8vo (about 7.5 inches tall) . Description: This is part of the Blackie's Famous Books series, and is undated; circa 1960; the series was published in this format during the 1950s and 1960s. Color frontis by M Mackinly, no other illustrations (the jacket art is not credited and would seem likely to be by a different artist). In his preface, G A (George Alfred) Henty states, ''My series of stories dealing with the wars of England would be altogether incomplete did it not include the period when the Romans were masters of the country. The valour with which the natives of this island defended themselves was acknowledged by the Roman historians, and it was only the superior discipline of the invaders that enabled them finally to triumph over the bravery and the superior physical strength of the Britons. It is pleasant to believe that with the Saxon, Danish, and Norman blood in our veins there is still a large admixture of that of the valiant warriors who fought so bravely against Caesar, and who rose under Boadicea in a desperate effort to shake off the oppressive rule of Rome.''
