Crown & Sceptre

Fascinating history of the monarchy. I started this book because I found myself realizing that I knew nothing about the foundation of the UK/England and I can't imagine that any author could do a better job than this. Somehow made 1000 years of real-life history interesting. It is definitely dense and repetitive, but in small doses you'll make it through.

Age range: 18+
Unless some high-achieving high school history buff has the time, I just can't imagine a teenager being interested in this.
