Young Amazon Snell, From "The Strange Story Book"!

May you enjoy this reading of the real life "Young Amazon Snell" story, from the book named "The Strange Story Book", which was the last of a series of 25 books published in the UK from 1889-1913, by husband and wife team, Andrew and Nora Lang.

Hannah or "Amazon" Snell as she was known, was a real life English female soldier/sailor, who disguised herself as a man back in the mid-1700s, to join the British military and travel all over the world, taking part in various campaigns.

The Langs collected a large variety of folk/fairy tales and true stories from all over Europe and beyond and published them in 25 volumes. Nora translated many of the stories from other languages and all were shared with children in mind.

Their book series was extremely popular and actually ended up helping to revolutionise children's literature of the era...enjoy!
