COPY ISBN
Covering about 1,500 years in under 100 pages, travel writer and historian Mason (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide: Brussels) keeps things concise while hitting the high points. A history of royal governance, customs, and notable castles leads to sections divided by ruling lineage (Anglo-Saxons; Queen Victoria to today). Plentiful images with ample captions accompany narratives on notable people, battles, events, and cultural changes for each period. Baker’s (founder, UsefulCharts; Timeline of World History) four foldout charts depict ruling relationships, with a removable time line poster spanning from 843 to the 2022 ascension of Charles III.
VERDICT A compact and engaging recounting of British monarchs past and present, suitable for middle school readers and up.
