Fabulous for those who love to read about British Monarchy/History but get confused or forget after awhile, who came from who/where/when! Great to read through then go back for a quick reference when needed. LOTS of info and fun facts!

Excellent start for anyone who may be interested in starting to try to understand the Monarchy in the U.K. Giving overviews of each ruler along with the "side notes" reminders is a great way to learn about the ideas and the time frame of what life was like durning each ruler.

You don't have to sit through 400 pages about each ruler or have to disect each King or Queen's greatest battles to understand who they were.

Dummies finally have hit every area with their books. I'm glad someone thought to include the British Monarchy .

I enjoy this book very much. It is a fast read and great for reference material. It has lots of tidbits that you don't usually pick-up in other books. Great book for Dummies or people that are interested in English history and day-to-day facts on the English castle dwellers.

My daughter and I both like to read British novels. She likes the Regency era and I like the British cozies. We both like to read historical fiction and have trouble keeping up with the different monarchs with similar names. This book will be very helpful keeping it all straight.
