Title: Schama's History of Britain
Product review: Simon Schama brings extraordinary knowledge, brilliance, thoughtfulness, and presentation skills to this history of Britain, which he has written from somewhat different -- and very interesting -- perspectives than one finds in a textbook history. I first discovered it when I borrowed it from my local library and was immediately smitten -- to the point where I bought copies for my two sons' families for Christmas. In addition, I have promoted it enthusiastically to friends. Further, the special features include a stunning conversation about John Donne and his poetry between Schama and Fiona Shaw. Shaw's readings of Donne's work is magical!
