5.0 out of 5 stars Great quick reference, December 23, 1999

By	Eric Wylie (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Kings & Queens of England and Scotland (Paperback)

This is an excellent source of quick info on the rulers of England and Scotland for the last millenium. Pictures, family trees, and lists of major events during each reign make this a very handy tool which prevents a lot of digging to find the information otherwise.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must-have for the Anglophile..., May 5, 2001

By	WifeofBath3 "wifeofbath3" (Hattiesburg, Mississippi United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kings & Queens of England and Scotland (Paperback)

...who's sometimes a bit vague on his history.

It goes without saying that this isn't an exhaustive reference, but it succeeds at what it is--a handy, very quick reference to English and Scottish monarchs. If you're wondering who was on the throne when Dickens began writing, if you need a quick reminder of who was the first Plantagenet ruler, if you know the Black Prince was Richard II's father but can't for the life of you remember his mother's name, this book will let you find your answer in just a couple of minutes. Worth the purchase price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, May 8, 2002

By	"goauburn" (Lawrenceville (Atlanta), GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kings & Queens of England and Scotland (Paperback)

Kings & Queens of England & Scotland is a great book! I use this on a regular basis and is a good source for reports. I would suggest this book. The individual biographies are great, and the events during the reign are really helpful. This book follows each dynasty and shows a family tree for each. I highly suggest this book for anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outlines the Kings and Queens
This is a great summary of the kings and queens. Shows the family relationships. It doesn't go into a lot of detail, but for a beginning book or quick reference, it is outstanding.
