## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE this book...
*by S***E on February 19, 2025*

This book gives you SOOO much info about a very dense subject without getting bogged down. When tackling a subject as complicated as English history, it is helpful to me to first get a good overview before delving into the weeds. This book definitely does that and reads like an exciting novel (because you can't make this stuff up!) rather than a dry history book. I have an upcoming extended trip to England, and this provides great context.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Review of a Complicated History
*by J***S on March 2, 2025*

A nicely done and comprehensive history of. Not too long and not too brief. This is not meant for a serious historian but it does the job if you want to get perspective on the kings, royal houses and major battles .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Readable Book on "The Standard Stuff"
*by M***H on May 24, 2012*

This book, as a 2-star reviewer noted, absolutely is "the standard stuff." Mostly Kings, Queens, and wars (although the material on social, political, religious, and economic history is fine so far as it goes).Here's why I liked it. I love English history, but since I'm an American, I didn't have the standard stuff pounded into my head in school. Yes, there's more to history than Royals and battles, but if you don't have the basic outline down, everything else is just mush - you've got nothing to hang it on. It's like trying to understand American History without knowing the difference between Abraham Lincoln and Jimmy Carter.I must have picked up a dozen books like this over the years and without exception they all made my eyes glaze over. This one really works. The writing sparkles, the level of detail is just right, it has excellent illustrations, and the stories of the royal families are connected to the major events of their time (and to each other).So I don't really quarrel with the existing 2-star review on this. If this was the *only* book you ever read on English history, there's a lot you wouldn't know. But as an informative, entertaining outline of old-fashioned traditional history, it can't be beat. Read it and go forth an read your English social or cultural history with confidence. You won't always be asking yourself "Thomas Cromwell - was he the one who cut off King Charles' head, or the one who confiscated the monastic estates?" (The latter, at the behest of Henry VIII - see, it's working already!)
