The Story of Westminster Abbey
Produced by Al Haines
"The Story of Westminster Abbey" by Violet Brooke-Hunt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the rich history of Westminster Abbey, exploring its foundations, the builders, and the notable figures buried within its walls. The narrative aims to make the Abbey, a significant symbol of English heritage, more accessible and familiar to readers of all ages. The opening of the book introduces Geoffrey, a boy who has traveled and learned extensively about the Abbey and expresses a desire to document its stories so that others can understand its historical significance. Inspired by his own journey, Geoffrey feels that Westminster Abbey serves as a living textbook of England's history, filled with monuments and memories. Violet Brooke-Hunt sets out to weave together tales from the Abbey’s past, aiming to engage readers, especially young audiences, with themes of exploration, heritage, and the interconnectedness of history and personal identity. Thus, the introduction serves both as a prologue to the Abbey’s storied legacy and as a heartfelt urging to appreciate the cultural landmarks that define England.
