Kings and Queens of England: Book Two (Great Rulers)

Ladybird history books are social history at it's best, from; I would estimate ages 8 to 14 for school use of simply to enjoy. They bring history alive for children, and are filled with fascinating information. As well as bringing alive an animated, exciting past, they also show how events of the past, are with us today, in so many fascinating ways.The reigns of the Kings and Queens in this book cover over 500 years, from the reign of King Henry VII of the House of Tudor, to the present Queen Elizabeth II. It would certainly require a large history book, to seriously document all of the important events that happened in Britain during the last 500 years. But this book gives young readers a nice but brief overview of how England changed during the reign of these monarchs and a little about each one of them, whetting their appetite for more information.During these 500 years there have been wars and revolutions, attempted invasions of Britain by Spain, Napoleonic France and Nazi Germany, and the rise and fall of the powerful British Empire.There have been great changes in industry and communication. This book was first published in 1968, and written by L Du Garde Peach with fabulous illustrations by John Kenny.
