I could not be happier with this book! Tons of information! I've shown it off to a number of people and some have already ordered one for themselves. If you are working on your genealogy and find yourself in one or more of the royal lines, you will love this book!

As a history buff I love reading about the crazy wonderful world of the royal families of Britain. This book is loaded with lots of information. It's not a lap book becase it is large, but it's fun to read sitting at a desk or table.

I am very interested in British history and British royalty. I needed more information on King Richard III as his remains were recently interred, so this book was very helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Near-Masterpiece
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2009

For anyone interested in British royalty, it's history or any one of the many royal dynasties, this book will make an excellent adjunct source, if not for the written information, then certainly for the many paintings, illustrations and photographs.

While it does cover the various sects of royalty nearly completely, it leaves some pertinent information out, but only a historical scholar would notice. For the rest of us, this book does a great job of covering the subjects and many of the historical eras' happenings as well. There are a few special sections; Elizabethan Era, the American Revolution, The Victorian Era, Princess Diana, etc. These vignettes add a note of time and place to the lives of the royals and what they were dealing with during their reign.

I would highly recommend this book as an addition to any library as a quick reference guide. For more complete information about the rulers in-depth, readers might be interested in Thomas B. Costain's highly-readable series, most notably The Plantagenets.

This book has everything I wanted to learn about british royal history and a little bit more, it is easy to read, has some lovely pictures, it is informative without being confusing and I am thoroughly enjoying it, it was delivered fairly quickly and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to broaden their knowledge of our past colourful royal history.However on a down note, I did find the paperback version in my local bookshop on offer for £3, so wish I had had that one instead!! I could have saved a tenner!!

英国(イングランド・スコットランド)王の歴史が、アーサー王から
現在のエリザベス2世まで詳細に解説されています。
王の生没年、家系図、歴史上の業績等非常に内容が充実し、
写真・肖像・地図など、多くの画像がフルカラーで印刷されています。
英国王に関する本は数多く出版されていますが、この本は中でも良書です。
ページも250ページ以上と多く、ただの王室史ではなく英国そのものの

This is an excellent book. It's the kind of thing you leave lying around your coffee table and you just keep coming back to it... and so do people who visit your house! It's clearly laid out and easy to read, without being dumbed down in any way. It provides a really good overview of our monarchs. Well worth every penny!

Having previously bought the paperback version before, I was most impressed with the hardback in terms of size, layout. Content of course is very informative. Very attractive book.
