Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An English Hero: The Story of Richard Cobden, Written for Young People In the old Saxon times, a vast forest stretched across the county of Sussex between the chalk hills which form the North and South Downs. In the present day, that district still retains its ancient Saxon name of "Weald," or Forest, though only clumps of trees remain of the once dense wood which covered all the ground. Eighty years ago, the quiet little village of Midhurst lay in the western corner of the Weald. From the top of a hill close by could be seen, far away to the south, the sparkling waters of the English Channel, dividing our island from the French neighbours with whom we were then continually at war.
