Book Reviews of 1000 Years of English Royalty: William the Conqueror to Elizabeth II (Audio Editions)
Book Review: Annoyingly concise yet fascinating overview of the royals
Summary: 3 Stars
Unfortunately this series, especially the second tape, assumes the listerner already has a basic knowledge of the history presented. Readings from the monarch's actual letters,etc., prove annoying on repeated listening. At the same time, Derek Jacobi's reading is wonderful and these tapes present an excellent, if occasionally mystifying, overview of the kings and queens of England and their triumphs, mistakes and tribulations. Worth repeated listenings with liberal use of the fast forward button.
