The Romance of the Nation (Volumes 1 & 2) is a two-volume hardcover set edited by Charles Ray and published by Amalgamated Press around 1935. Subtitled A Stirring Pageant of the British Peoples Through All the Ages, it offers an overview of British history, starting approximately 2000 years ago and continuing to what was then contemporary Britain. The books were written for children and include designs for making paper or card puppets of various historical figures and scenes.

As products of their time, the volumes reflect nationalist and colonialist themes, characteristic of the British Empire era. The set spans 1460 pages, features black-and-white illustrations, and is described as being in very fine condition despite its age.
