It would be easier to remember the kings and queens of England if they didn't all have the same names. A Chudley and an Irma in there would have helped a lot. Tired of trying to remember which Henry is which, I checked this book out of the library and then bought one so I would have a handy reference. It gives a synopsis of them all consecutively beginning with several I didn't even know about. It is forthright and not necessarily kind. I'm enjoying it.

I really enjoy reading about the different monarchs throughout time. Ormrod's book has made it so easy to read about and learn more about these kings and queens who have shapped the world. "The Kings and Queens of England" is the perfect introduction to all of the different houses and all of the different monarchs. The way in which this book was written allows the reader to either read the book completely or look up particular intrests. He has made it so easy and fairly enjoyable.

I very much recomend this book to anyone who has a historical intrest in the royal families because this is very well written and filled with loads of information that I have not heard any where else.
