Boy Kings and Girl Queens Overview
This volume for boys and girls was published in 1914.
From the Preface:
In this book I have told for ordinary boys and
girls stories of some of the royal boys and
girls who have become Kings and Queens at an
age when most children think only of games
and toys. One or two of these boy Kings and
girl Queens died while yet they were children,
others grew to manhood and womanhood, and
ruled well or ill. But of their lives beyond
the age of twenty-one this book takes no
account.
The stories are taken from the history of our
own land and from that of our near neighbours
France and Germany. France our one-time
enemy, Germany our constant ally. Other
countries too have had child rulers, but I could
not tell of all. I have not tried even to tell
the stories of all the child rulers of our own
land. For Scotland alone furnishes enough to
fill a large book. During the three centuries
and a half from 1214 to 1567 Scotland had
fifteen rulers, ten of whom came to the throne
in childhood.
These stories of royal children of times gone
by will, I trust, have some interest for the
happier children of today, who have no burden
of sceptre or crown to bear, and whose little
feet will never tread the steep and perilous
steps of a throne.
- H. E. Marshall
