5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of the Tudors, 30 Aug 2005
By Iceni Peasant (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is a very accessible book for all levels of history enthusiast. There is one chapter to each of the five Tudor monarchs, with sub-chapters on specific issues of interest during their reign.

The author states that he's writing more from the basis of showing the political state of England through the Tudor dynasty rather than focusing on personal aspects. Don't let the "political" theme put you off though, it is far from boring and in many ways all the main topics that occured in the monarch's reigns do involve their thoughts and feelings and reasons for actions. I would certainly term this as the best "Overview" of the Tudors I've read.

There are black and white photos throughout the book, with a section of colour photos in the middle which mainly look at the heraldry of each monarch. There are some great photos of paintings, engravings and documents of the time, of which are clear enough to read and one of particular interest is a letter by Lady Jane Grey, signed "Jane the Quene"(her spelling not mine!).

This is not a dull trawl through the usual known facts of the Tudor period; there are often new bits and pieces of information that I hadn't read before and other things written from a different perspective. An excellent book to own for all those with a passion for the Tudors!
