ofEngland.Like our own Queen to-day,hername was Elizabeth,and during her longreign of forty-five years,England enjoyedone of the greatest periods in all ourhistory.  \nWhen Elizabeth,a beautifulyoung womanof twenty-five,rode through the streets ofLondon to her coronation,surrounded byall the brilliant colour and pageantry of thesixteenth century,it must have been one ofthe most wonderful sights the old city hadever seen.  \nBut England was neither happy norcontented.The reign of Elizabeth’s eldersister Mary had nearly caused a revolutionat home,and in the war with France,theEnglish had been defeated abroad.Therewas no money in the treasury,and overseastrade had disappeared.  \nMany people in the country were starving,and others were still suffering from the cruelpersecution of the previous reign.  \nThe roads of England were unsafebecause of robbers and homeless outlaws,and throughout the length and breadth ofthe land,there was neither law nor order,as we know them to-day.  \nDuring the reign of Elizabeth all this waschanged,and England became prosperousand happy.  \nMuch of this was due to the brave sailorswho were known as gentlemen-adventurers.These men,sailing their little ships to thefurthest limits of the known oceans,madeElizabethan England the mistress of theseas.  \nTwo of the greatest of them were stillboys in Devon when Elizabeth came to thethrone.  They were Francis Drake,whowas fifteen,and his young kinsman,WalterRaleigh,who was six.  \nWhen he was twenty,Drake sailed incommand of a little ship to the newlydiscovered continent of America.His objectwas to win from the Spaniards some of thegold which they had discovered there.Hereturned with a wonderful story of adven-ture to tell to his young friend,WalterRaleigh.  \nAs Walter Raleigh listened,he was nodoubt thrilled at the thought of one daysailing westward to fight the Spaniards.Day after day he looked out over the sea,and wondered what he would find beyondthe horizon.  \nIn the meantime,like most Devon boys,he spent all the time he could on or in thewater.The little boats of four hundredyears ago were clumsy things comparedwith the trim yachts of to-day,but youngWalter Raleigh and his friends learnt tosail them in all weathers.  \nThough he did not know it,it was thepreparation for those great voyages onwhich the British Empire has been founded,and which to-day we know as the BritishCommonwealth of Nations.","cbCaigHDOgC7Cfo7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigHDOgC7Cfo7","pdf",2360180,56,"English","# Introduction\n## Elizabeth I’s accession in 1558\n## England before change: hardship and unrest\n## Adventurers at sea: Drake and Raleigh\n## Early voyages and preparation for exploration","[{\"question\":\"What era does the book describe?\",\"answer\":\"The book focuses on England during the reign of Elizabeth I and the beginning of the Elizabethan period.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is the defeat of the Spanish Armada important in the story?\",\"answer\":\"It is highlighted as a key moment within the narrative of this great period and its people.\"},{\"question\":\"How are Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh connected to the story’s early adventures?\",\"answer\":\"They are presented as young seafarers from Devon—Drake at fifteen and Raleigh at six—whose experiences and adventures help shape Elizabethan England’s maritime reach.\"}]","Sir Walter Raleigh - A Ladybird Book | PDF",1790595524,86]
