Summary "English Literature for Boys and Girls" by H. E. Marshall is a collection designed to introduce young readers to English literary heritage, most likely written in the early 20th century. The book covers a wide array of stories, historical accounts, and folk tales from British literature, spanning centuries and showcasing different genres and authors. Marshall's aim is to engage children in the rich tapestry of English storytelling, highlighting not just the narratives but the evolution of literature over time. The opening portion of the work begins with an exploration of the origins of storytelling, emphasizing its role in human culture from the earliest civilizations to more structured literary forms. It illustrates how oral traditions gave way to written literature, explaining the transition from a time when stories were shared around fires to the age of manuscripts and printed books. Through vivid imagery and reflections on the nature of stories, Marshall sets the stage for the tales and characters she intends to present, engaging young readers' imaginations and inviting them to appreciate the beauty and history of literature.
