content: As an avid reader I am always looking for a new "great read". I love books about England and therefore, was excited to start reading this book. Alas, the title is misleading, there is nothing "Great" about this book. It just plain stinks. There should be a monetary reward for anyone who can wade through this muck. It is poorly conceived, more poorly written and will bore you to tears. Don't waste your time or money on this stinker.
