Mary Platt Parmele (1843 - 1911) was an American historian and writer. She was born in Albany, New York, educated in New York and from 1892 began contributing philosophical articles and short stories to reviews and magazines. Parmele's most successful books were a number of "Short History" books of various countries written in the late 19th and early 20th century. Her "Short History of... " books included France, England, United States, Germany, Spain, and Italy. Her style is a elegant tale that ties together the various historical moments of a country in easy to read, wide-ranging text, or as we read in one contemporary review of Parmele's work (1893, Hartford Post): "Her book leaves out the innumerable incidents and figures which are of great importance to students, but which are not necessary in a book for general reading, and presents the narrative in a graphic manner, in which the interest of the reader never flags."

A Short History of England, Ireland and Scotland by Mary Platt Parmele nowadays is in the public domain, but a great work has been done by Publisher to this version to make an electronic book that contrasts favorably to the original version. A lot of errors that exist in the free versions have been corrected; proper navigation is available or shortly, the ASCII text has been converted into a proper e-book. And the most important, in addition to few illustrations in original title, were added many new illustrations that help us to see how the History comes to Life.
