The kings and queens of England and Scotland

. Informative book which is easy for all ages to follow wether reading it themselves or being read to. My children used it for projects and i myself took it into school to show children the system the English have as many think the Queen is voted in. I also enjoyed this book as i enjoy my country's history.

Very nice book -- just what I was looking for!

I read this book cover to cover just prior to my trip to England (along with Antonia Fraser's "The Lives of the Kings & Queens of England"). This was a fun and easy read with nice pitcures. It is nice for anyone looking for a brief overview about the English Monarchy and also for anyone who just wants to have a handy reference.

Great Book!

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.

Great quick reference

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.

An excellent short reference book on the British monarchy.

Fry's much-condensed version of his earlier book is an excellent, handy and short guide to the British monarchy. Its graphics, photographs and charts are high quality and the text provides the useful highlights of the periods.
