You Thought You Knew Them?

I thoroughly enjoyed Delderfield's book on the kings and queens of England and Great Britain. He's laid out the geneology in a flowing, concise way, offering tidbits of fact for each monarch. Sometimes sounding almost gossipy, Delderfield knows his subject. The photographs made a nice counterpoint to the prose, giving me a feel for the reality of all mentioned.A good book for a condensed overview of English royalty.
