Reviews

[Darlene Foster · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an excellent reference tool. I learned about kings I'd never heard of. Some stories, good & bad, about kings & Queens I slightly knew. There are so many of them, how do school children ever remember them all? It ends with Henry V but I found the earlier monarchs to be more interesting. 55bc? I can't imagine having a history going back that far.
