Title: Excellent picture book with great information
Review: I cannot express how much this book has taught me about the Kings and Queens of England. Although I had known about the more famous ones (Elizabeth I, Henry VIII & wives, Victoria) this marvelous book has now revealed the stories of the others to me. Not to mention the beautiful portraits of the royals themselves. The best thing about the book is the author's opinions of the King or Queen just slightly slipped in. Though, like others have said, the book doesn't go into great detail about anyone, you'll learn what really happened in the days of Mary I or Henry VI. The writing is definitely English, and while reading you may require a dictionary lying around. But although the hardcover could probably be classified as a "coffee table book," it's excellent reading, and is probably one of the most well written picture books I've ever read.
