this covers eveything about king james. from his birth to death. it has ALOT of illustrations- some are in black/white and some are color. it even shows examples of james's handwriting. this book covers the whole life of james and reveals much more about all the people involved with james and all the events in his life. i would suggest this as a "starter" book for someone wanting to learn about king james. an awesome book! do not pass this up.

Good review of the reign of King James. I would recommend this to people who just want a brief introduction to fix the major players in their heads before they move on to more detailed works. I really appreciated the variety of pictures included in this volume.

I purchased this book to use as resource material for a book I am writing myself, part of which took place during King James' reign. The written material has been very helpful and the photos of paintings, etc has given me a picture of the people and places of that era than simple words would not have been able to do.
