This out-of-print book is an absolute a gold mine of information on the history of education - not just British, but for anyone with an interest in English-language education. It's packed with anecdotes, names, dates, and shows meticulous study and concentration on a very large span of time. At times a very dense read, it's well-worth the effort finding a copy if this subject interests you at all, from the 5th century on to the massive changes in education after the Second World War.
