5.0 out of 5 stars Caroline of Ansbach
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2024
This is history done right. If you haven't read it you're certainly missing out.

4.0 out of 5 stars On the wife of George II
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2002
I sort of have a project to read a biography of every English sovereign, but have not found to hand a biography of George II. When I came across this book, I figured it was the next best thing to a bio of George II. And I was right. During the period up to Caroline's death, ..., this book covers the kingly activities of George II reasonably well. The book lacks any bibliography and source notes of any kind, but if that doesn't bother you it reads quite well. I did not regret taking the time to read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb and underrated

Quennell is almost forgotten now, but he is a great biographer
and social historian. `Caroline of England' and `Four Portraits'
comprise a splendid introduction to the Georgian era.
