This little booklet provides us with a readable and concise history of the Kings and Queens. It traces the successions and the “benchmark” events of the reigns of these royal persons succinctly so the reader can grasp quickly a well-tangled historical record. Like any “concise” review, of course, there is precious little “meat-on-the-bone” beyond a genealogical trace through the hundreds of years of British history. It serves fairly well, however, to trace the “institution” of the British monarchy while giving us numerous teasers for further reading.

This is a great summary of the kings and queens. Shows the family relationships. It doesn’t go into a lot of detail, but for a beginning book or quick reference, it is outstanding.

I bought this book a couple of years ago. I read it and found it quite easy and enjoyable to read. Now I use it mainly for quick reference and usually find myself spending more time just browsing through its pages and enjoying it over and over. It has a lot of interesting historical facts! I wish there were similar books on other europpean royal houses!

This book is a handy review of the highlights of the British and Scottish monarchies. The illustrations are of good quality, and the family trees are helpful. This book is nice to have on the shelf as a quick reference guide for those moments you are trying to keep your Henrys and Edwards straight.

This book is invaluable for anyone researching royal genealogies and history students. Highly recommend, along with the “Mammoth Book of Kings and Queens”
