I'm working on a British Isles (mostly British) history/literature list for Ria (7th grade) to take her through the rest of the year. This is a very rough cut. Suggestions are welcome. She's very enthusiastic about this general topic, so I'd like to get through whatever good stuff is also age appropriate (she will be earning some sort of reward at the end).
