Henry III, King of England from 1216, (1932). Henry (1207-1272) is one of the least-known British monarchs, considering the great length of his reign. He was also the first child monarch in English royal history since the Norman Conquest. Much of Henry's reign was spent in dispute with the barons over the provisions of the Magna Carta. From Kings and Queens by Eleanor and Herbert Farjeon, illustrated by Rosalind Thornycroft [Victor Gollancz Ltd, London, 1932]
