The Magna Carta Chronicle: A Young Person’s Guide to 800 Years in the Fight for Freedom

This commemorative book has been produced with generous funding and support from the Magna Carta 800th Anniversary Committee, established to co-ordinate the 800th Centenary Commemorations of the sealing of Magna Carta.

The Magna Carta Chronicle charts the fight for freedoms from the sealing of Magna Carta by King John in 1215 to the present day. It includes more than 40 newspaper articles, a two-metre-long fold-out timeline wallchart, a crossword, a 50-question multiple-choice quiz and a souvenir copy and guide to the Magna Carta itself. Designed as the ultimate souvenir guide for young people to the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta in 2015, The Magna Carta Chronicle contains more than a hundred beautifully hand drawn illustrations. The combination of newspaper articles, timeline and quiz provides a highly accessible way for young and not-so-young people to explore the amazing stories of how freedoms and liberties have been won over the centuries. It also highlights how fragile many of them still are today.
