- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2019Claire Ridgway and her cohorts have put together a clever little book that does not pretend to be anything it is not. What it is though is short entertaining history of the English Monarchy. The illustrations are beautiful and the information included is accurate, something you cannot take for granted these days! Although Ridgway is mostly known for her incredible Tudor books, this foray into the rest of the bunch is fresh and fun.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2020This was an easy to read, informative book. The writing style, while not that of great literature, is fast-paced and interesting.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2023No problems from ordering to paying to delivery. I am a history "buff" and am really liking the pictures and stories in this book. I would buy from these folks again.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2014For an American like me, this book is a good reference on the kings and queens of England. The information is interesting but not overwhelming; I got a good overview of many people I knew little or nothing about. If you want a few quick facts, this is a good place to start. I enjoyed the illustrations also. I read this on my Kindle Fire, so I got to experience the color. I am sure that the actual book would be even more enjoyable.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014Claire has a fantastic knowledge on British history, as well as, her husband Tim, so why not her daughter also. I have read all of Claire's books and all are so very well done. You think you know all there is to know about the British Monarchy and then Claire teaches the reader even more. I highly recommend this book and all of Claire's books. Job well done once again Claire.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016I just received this today and started reading. As with everything else Claire writes it is thoroughly researched. Each monarch gets a single page bio and though short is very informative. The Victorian etchings are wonderful and being colorized really come to life. If you are at all an Anglophile as I myself am you will enjoy this immensely.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2015Very interesting book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2020This is a great book on the English monarchy. It talks about all the monarchs England ever had. I'd recommend this book if you want to learn about the monarchy. Claire Ridgeway is a great author. I'd recommend any of her books!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Little pricey but well worth it for visual treats inside.
All though this book was smaller than I expected for the money it was well worth the spends when you open it & are met with the most beautiful colour plates. These are really a visual treat & make the book a delight to read. You can see the care & attention that the author has spent on this book. Great for adults & children this is one book that you will not be disappointed by. A must have addition to any collection.
- TarikiReviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2019
5.0 out of 5 stars Brief but enjoyable
Quite enjoyed this quick run through of our Kings and Queens. Plus, the illustrations of each monarch are a joy, in glorious HD, able to be zoomed in and enlarged without distortion. Whether or not the earlier portraits are actually true to life is another matter!
- C McCReviewed in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent short read
Really enjoyed this quick dive into the English Kings and Queens would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a quick overview.
- suzanneReviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars its great to find a book that covers all the kings ...
its great to find a book that covers all the kings and queens. The illustrations are equisite and remind me of history books my dad used to have.
There is just enough information on each monarch to provide a background and context. This is a good starting point to go on and research in more detail thise that fascinate you.
I would strogly recommend this book.
- Miss G, Hayling IslandReviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2018
3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed.
Not sure why this is £30? Small book, with brief summaries. Would expect to pay about £15-£20. Disappointed.
