'The Story of England' is the ideal introduction to English history for all readers. Concise, informative, highly readable and beautifully illustrated, it presents in a flowing narrative the broad outline of England's political, economic and cultural history from Neolithic times to the 1990s.
Christopher Hibbert is a master storyteller. With vivid character sketches, telling details and well-chosen anecdotes, he brings people and events to life as the story unfolds. He also has the rare ability to summarise without oversimplifying, so that the main outline is always clear and easy to grasp. The illustrations vividly complement the text with a rich variety of images that further bring the story to life.
The need for quick reference is met too, and the text is supported by fold-out chronological charts, maps, royal genealogies and a full index.
With its conciseness and readability, 'The Story of England' presents a new style of popular history. Readers of all ages will find it the perfect introduction to England's past.
Includes colour and black-and-white illustrations.
