Personal use.

Il libro è arrivato con puntualità ed è ottimo, usato ma sembra nuovo. Senza scritte (nemmeno il nome di chi lo aveva prima), in condizioni perfette. Grazie!

I have recently bought this book in the used market of Amazon.UK. I was expecting a little book with genealogic charts and a few photos and I was treated to a superb book, almost an enciclopedy with colourful photos and a comprehensive text about each dinasty of the Kings and Queens of England. Of course the text could not be extensive but covered the basic facts about each historical era. The only thing I missed was the fact that the book began with the norman Kings (from William the Conqueror) so nothing is said about the Anglo-Saxon Kings (I am curious about Alfred the Great and Edward the Confessor) but the rest of the book is very informative, at least from the point of the view of a non-english subject that knows very little about the dinasties. Antonia Fraser is the editor of this superb book and she is one of my favorite authors (I have read her books about Mary Queen of Scots, Charles II and the six Wives of Henry VIII). So wonderful book merits a reimpression!
