Elizabeth is viewed as one of our greatest monarchs. She committed herself to her country, even ruling out marriage in favour of her subjects. It has been called a golden age. Welcome to our GCSE series on Elizabethan England, 1558-1588, where we discuss this fascinating period and question whether or not it was as golden as first thought. The series is broken down into four areas, each area focused on one of the four key topics to be studied: accession, religion, challenges and society. Our series brings together Oxford historian and Tudor specialist Dr Glyn Redworth and Chris Eades, a history teacher at one of England's oldest schools, Harrow, which was established during our period, in 1572, by Royal Charter of Elizabeth herself.

Billy the Kid , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min

Billy was a champion soccer star, playing for Chelsea in the 1930s. But that was before war broke out! Billy the Kid is told through the voice of an 80-year-old man, who looks back on his life as Chelsea's champion striker until the outbreak of war in 1939 and on through his subsequent life. Billy joins Chelsea as a football apprentice and rises through the reserves to become a real champion. His passion for football sees him through the war years - even as a prisoner of war, he organises a friendly match against the Italians - but, having been injured by a mine, he cannot play for Chelsea on his return to England. Billy turns to vagrancy and alcohol, and for years he wanders up and down the country. He re-settles in London in a derelict house and is befriended by a family who move him to a shed in their garden. He, in turn, helps their son with his football match and he in his turn becomes a Chelsea player. Billy becomes a Chelsea Pensioner and his 80th birthday is celebrated when Chelsea play at home. This is a novel for both children and adults, which deals with some difficult issues. Michael Morpurgo's storytelling is superb, and this will be a welcome follow up to the previous Morpurgo/Foreman collaboration, Farm Boy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Attenborough.
