Crown and Country by David Starkey
An exploration of the British monarchy from the retreat of the Romans up until the modern day. With a new chapter on Royal Weddings this is essential reading for those who want to understand more about how monarchy has shaped the British nation.‘A masterpiece of accessible history, underscored with profound scholarship…the author’s passion for his subject, the royal tale of England, which is the backbone of this nation’s story explodes from every pageI defy anybody not to enjoy this book’ Guardian
‘[Starkey] has a lovely eye for a good story…he also has a nice line in snarky humour…Starkey’s great skill is to weave big themes quietly into a rollicking narrative so that you absorb them almost without noticing they are there’ Daily Telegraph
