Product Description

Product Description

The story of the British monarchy told in a stunningly detailed and painstakingly researched encyclopedia. In addition, over 500 paintings and photographs, cartoons and drawings, engravings, artefacts and sculptures show how the royals have been viewed by every generation. Key moments of constitutional crisis include the trial and execution of Charles I in 1649, and more recently the Abdication Crisis in 1936 when Edward VIII gave up the throne to marry American divorcee Mrs Wallace Simpson. The private life and public life of Princess Diana is described, as well as her sudden tragic death. A valuable reference book for any historian, this expert and authoritative guide will absorb, entertain and fascinate every reader interested in discovering more about one of the longest-running monarchies in the world.

Great book 29 Dec 2009
By Chipper
Format:Hardcover
My ten year old daughter borrowed it from the library and liked it so much she ordered it. She reads it page by page and enjoys putting me right on historical facts on a frequent basis!

Great Book! 3 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover
This book has everything I wanted to learn about british royal history and a little bit more, it is easy to read, has some lovely pictures, it is informative without being confusing and I am thoroughly enjoying it, it was delivered fairly quickly and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to broaden their knowledge of our past colourful royal history.However on a down note, I did find the paperback version in my local bookshop on offer for £3, so wish I had had that one instead!! I could have saved a tenner!!
