Summary

From ancient times to the present day, the story of England has been laced with drama, intrigue, courage and passion - a rich and vibrant narrative of heroes and villains, kings and rebels, artists and highwaymen, bishops and scientists. In a three-volume series, Robert Lacey aims to capture 100 of the most pivotal moments: the stories and extraordinary characters who helped shape a nation.

This is the abridged omnibus edition of best-selling author Robert Lacey's three volumes recounting the dramatic story of England, from ancient times to the present day.

A little disappointed

I thought I bought an audible version of the book. Alas no! The audible version is far too abbreviated for my liking! I enjoy reading and listening to audible books.

Yawn!

I was really looking forward to this book but was really disappointed. I've always had an interest in history and was probably expecting to hear something new however, it was just a basic 'schoolboy' account of the history of this country which I found totally uninspiring.
I would say that it would be fine for those who had very little knowledge of England's history as it did manage to convey the basics quickly and without too much unnecessary fine detail.
