[.ca] Kings And Queens Of England And Scotland (ISBN 0756617715)

Must-have for the Anglophile...:
...who's sometimes a bit vague on his history. It goes without saying that this isn't an exhaustive reference, but it succeeds at what it is--a handy, very quick reference to English and Scottish monarchs. If you're wondering who was on the throne when Dickens began writing, if you need a quick reminder of who was the first Plantagenet ruler, if you know the Black Prince was Richard II's father but can't for the life of you remember his mother's name, this book will let you find your answer in just a couple of minutes. Worth the purchase price.

Great Book!:
Kings & Queens of England & Scotland is a great book! I use this on a regular basis and is a good source for reports. I would suggest this book. The individual biographies are great, and the events during the reign are really helpful. This book follows each dynasty and shows a family tree for each. I highly suggest this book for anyone.

An excellent short reference book on the British monarchy.:
Fry's much-condensed version of his earlier book is an excellent, handy and short guide to the British monarchy. Its graphics, photographs and charts are high quality and the text provides the useful highlights of the periods.

Great quick reference:
This is an excellent source of quick info on the rulers of England and Scotland for the last millenium. Pictures, family trees, and lists of major events during each reign make this a very handy tool which prevents a lot of digging to find the information otherwise.

Great for everyone!:
This is a neat, fun, informative book for everyone, young and old alike. Facts, information, interesting anecdotes, and superb pictures and graphics. The handy size makes it perfect for kids working on reports for school as well. A super book for a number of reasons, and a great one to have on your shelf, especially if you have kids in school or simply want to know more about British Royalty.
