Review title: Glaring errors
Product review: A fairly readable, accessible book that is marred by persistent, glaring errors. The very opening paragraphs state more than once that Henry Tudor landed in Milford Haven in August, 1483 instead of 1485. Later the text tells us that Mary Tudor married in 1334 instead of 1554. There are other, similar errors. The kind of errors that can confuse and frustrate the casual reader who is new to the subject. This kind of mistake, which ought to leap off the page and fairly strangle an editor, calls the credibility of an entire book into question. Every fact you read makes you wonder: Is this, too, a ridiculous typo?I've read several other volumes by Ridley and enjoyed them. It's a shame this one didn't receive better proofing and editing.
