There are many reasons the English know their history so well
For one, on such a small island
history is never far away with a short drive to a castle, museum,
or some sort of historical attraction
History is made appealing at an early age
through various books and TV shows
through various books and TV shows
such as the 'Horrible Histories' series
Often describing gruesome details,
children are attracted to the real stories,
some more colorful than many of us could make up!
My daughter has taken to this series...

Beloved English works by Dickens, Shakespeare, and Austen
have been abridged for children to learn
these classics at an early age
Okay, not historical, but I love this one for younger readers...
Local venues stage theater performances of Shakespeare's works,
I love that!
In essence,
the English are surrounded by their history and culture all the time
from an early age
- geographically and leisurely -
- geographically and leisurely -
I love that!
