Pleasant and easy read
Whether you know English history or not, this is a fair and pleasant read. Its a very conventional treatment of our history following the usual royal epochs and monarchical themes. But Simon Jenkins is an excellent writer with a flair for amusing and telling detail. So this book does add something new. And if you like the authors spoken voice you will enjoy this book too.

First Class
I bought this book on the strength of the subject and the author -I would read a menu if this man published one. The author in my opinion is the wisest man in England. We are not related in any way.
Best concise history of England I have read and I now have a much clearer understanding of my country's long history. The delivery is five star and no hesitation in granting five stars.
