A History of England, Volume 1: Prehistory to 1714

I am giving this text 4 starts because it can tend to be a little dry. But it is a textbook, and not really pleasure reading, (unless you like that sort of thing.) I felt that it left out some pertinent information, but overall, it is pretty easy reading. It is great to read after a lecture to help congeal the things the instructor talked about. I will not sell back this book, because I am a history major- and it has a really good index, so it is easy to look things up quickly.
