Well Illustrated Overview of the Hanovers, Victoria, Edward
This is a pretty good history of the Hanovers and their two immediate descendants. There are alot of pictures, and fairly short biographies of each of them. The book is very informative and a very quick read. I just wish that these biographers would realize that not all of us speak French, there are never any translations. Latin I can read, but French is beyond me,...

Beware: This is an excerpt from another book!
I bought this book along with another in the series to bridge my British Royal history knowledge gap. I also purchased The Lives of the Kings and Queens of England, Revised and Updated edited by Antonia Fraser and found the text in this book is identical to that volume. I think there are additional photos in this book, but it is not something completely new. If you have...

Latin I can read, but French is beyond me, and I would guess, alot of other people.

Needs an editor,
By
This review is from: The Houses of Hanover and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (Paperback)
I thought Antonia Fraser was a better editor than this ..gross errors ..confusing George I with George IV, hyphenating words willy-nilly ...I'm sure some of them are typos but isn't that what an editor is for? Great pictures but I'm still looking for a book that names everyone in the group photo taken at Ducky and Ernie's wedding ...

Very superficial piece of work,
By
This review is from: The Houses of Hanover and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (Paperback)
This would be fine for a junior high school history assignment, but don't look for any detail beyond that level. The overall impression is one of superficiality, with not a great deal of attention paid to accuracy.
2.0 out of 5 stars
VERY POOR EDITING!,

Don't bother with this. It's a total waste of money and time.
Facts are wrong and useful information scarce. I consigned it to my local Goodwill store immediately. |
