4.0 out of 5 stars It's the fat-free version of English history, 2 Dec 2003

By	Jennifer Stevens (Richmond, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The same day I, an American, became engaged to my British boyfriend, we stopped by a bookstore and I found this book. Since I'm about to begin on a lifelong commitment to an Englishman, I thought it was only appropriate that I learn more about his country and cultural background. However, given the vastness of England's history, I felt overwhelmed: How could I possibly get a decent overall review of England's history without my head spinning in the process!?
"The Story of England" was the perfect solution. Its condensed format, covering most of the major historical bases, was exactly what I'd been looking for. It provides just enough insight for me to have a good impression of where my betrothed and his family are from, but doesn't weigh me down with 5,000 years' worth of detail. I especially liked the timeline charts and genealogy listings in the back.

However, I'm not giving it five stars, even though it is obviously well-researched and an ambitious effort. First, I agree with the other reviewers who have commented on the long-windedness of the author. (Perhaps it is a British English vs American English thing -- who knows?) Second, although the author touches on many different historical events, I felt that some should have received more attention -- maybe just a page or so. There were several times where I felt like the author stopped short of telling me the basic facts.

All in all, this is a very good read. It is perfect for those of you who'd like to learn more about England's history and the events that help us understand how England has become the country it is today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't be better, 14 Aug 2009

By	Cecilia Leigh "Cecile" (London UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Perfect packaging unwrapped, revealing Christopher Hibbert's English History paperback, though used volume, in perfect appearance. Will certainly be looking out for this supplier next time
