I think I must have ordered this book based on the incorrect review mentioned below. It certainly isn't the valuable resource I expected (in fairness I haven't inspected the last chapter yet where all the links & resources are listed); it is basically a (very) potted history of Britain and mostly of England. It reminds me of a school history book where the lives and achievements of the Kings and Queens are glossed over simply for young readers. This is a classic TV spin-off for merchandising purposes only.

The book sells itself like this:
"This book gives the amateur genealogist all the tools to trace their ancestors back over six centuries, taking them on a fascinating historical journey into the past".
Truth is, this book is nothing more than a basic book of history plotting the rise and fall of famous people through the Tudor period.
There is an explanation of the meaning of names which is great if you are a looking for this information in particular but again this is little help for the subject matter.
So all in all, a massive disappointment.

As a general read and as an "add-on" to the recent TV series, this is an interesting book but as a useful geanealogy research reference book, it is practically useless. It is little more than a glossy companion to a TV series but for any serious researcher, the advice must be - look elsewhere.
