Summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of England, then pay attention...

There are few places that entice the imagination quite like England. Just a little island off the western coast of continental Europe, it boasts a rich history that stretches all the way back to the first modern humans.

Since then, entire societies have risen and fallen as people learned to make flint and bone tools, bury their dead, and fortify their cities against foreign raiders.

From the fearsome Celtic warriors of prehistory to the clever inventors and statesmen of the modern era, England’s story is one bursting with magnificent castles, complex kings and queens, rebellious peasants, and horrifying plagues.

Throughout history, more people have called England home than perhaps most of us have ever realized.

Some things are wrong.

Aside from the narration being a bit monotonous, there are some things wrong. For example Roman emperor Claudius was not emperor Caligula's brother, but rather his uncle.

Simplistic taster

To British ears some of the pronunciations are cringe worthy to say the least.
it is only a 3hr book so do not expect much.
Some of what is said contradicts many other deeper works on many sub-topics spoken about.
History buffs will probably not get past the first chapter or so.
However, for younger people and those wanting a brief taster of the topics, passable.
I have given 4 as i hope it encourages people to take up reading history with greater depth and discussion.

Good and very informative

very educational and informative my only criticism is that the American narrator doesn't pronounce thing properly such as the names of the counties which I know might sound a bit petty but after a while it just gets a little annoying to me
