During the Age of Exploration, England's advancement initially lagged behind the other European powers. However, it quickly became involved in the race to colonize and reap the benefits of the new world. Join our two young hosts as they are introduced to Sir Walter Raleigh, who tells the story of the great English explorers. Learn about the voyages of John Cabot, credited with making the first European landfall in North America after the Vikings. Discover the story of Sir Francis Drake, the first European to travel in his own ship all the way around the world. Students will also enjoy listening as Raleigh describes his attempts to organize the first English settlement in North America.--From publisher web site.
