I was pleasantly surprised at how much I learned; never did I find the material dry or boring - definitely recommended! There is as much, if not more, attention paid to the familial and personal aspects of England's kings and queens as there is to their domestic and foreign policies. What this collection of concise portraits of every single English king and queen regnant from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth II by various authors lacks in depth, it makes up for in breadth.

As a young girl, Elizabeth's life changed for ever when her Papa was crowned King George VI and the family moved into Buckingham Palace. This beautiful book takes a photographic journey through Queen Elizabeth II's ten decades of colour-blocked style.This book serves up bite-sized portions, describing each of the 59 British rulers dating back to Alfred the Great in 871 and continuing on through most of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. For each monarch there is a detailed timeline, and the narrative is further amplified by display quotations, feature boxes, and panels of key biographical facts. Eventually, this edition will be outdated, but as yet there is no lack of completeness; Elizabeth II, who was the current queen when the book was published in 2006/2007, is STILL the current queen. On the other hand, the format is useful as a quick reference with charts depicting the monarch’s coat of arms and listing such facts as birth date, parents, children, succession date, house, death, etc; while the section contain photos, quotes, and small supplemented texts to round the bios.

The home of Ten Minutes to Bed, Baby Touch, Peppa Pig and Hey Duggee, we know just how to capture curious little imaginations and guide them from one story to the next.
