Albert Marrin Histories

Marrin is a very prolific, skilled writer of histories for young people. In our opinion, his books (many of which are still in print) are not to be missed! You'll find no dry specks with Marrin's books for young people. He keeps his books personal, fast-paced, and exciting.

His perspective is patriotic and conservative.

To take a taste of his well-flavored writing, you may read both The Rise of the Buccaneers and his delightful promotional pamphlet, The Storyteller.
