The book shows what people in that time thought was important and interesting. The tenth book has stories about important people, like a long story about the Duke of Clarence, focusing on his time in the navy. It also shares little stories that give a look at how society worked back then, the new things being discovered in science and art, along with what people thought about books and writing at the time.
