Samenvatting

A feast for history lovers--the whole colorful parade of English history brilliantly captured in a single volume.From ancient times to the present day, the story of England has been laced with drama, intrigue, courage, and passion. In GREAT TALES FROM ENGLISH HISTORY, Robert Lacey recounts the remarkable episodes that shaped a nation as only a great storyteller can: by combining impeccable accuracy with the timeless drama that has made these tales live for centuries. This new paperback edition is encyclopedic in scope, gathering together all of Robert Lacey's great tales previously published in three separate hardcover volumes. The book comprises 154 delectable stories, each brimming with insight, humor, and fascinating detail. Bite-sized history at its best, GREAT TALES FROM ENGLISH HISTORY belongs on every Anglophile's bookshelf. An informative, trustworthy distillation, less a debunking than an entertaining, wryly lucid reconstruction of the facts...The tales weave a narrative as finely thatched as an English cottage. -Tennessean Eminently readable, highly enjoyable...G REAT TALES should appeal to the reader who appreciates individuals and their personalities more than mere mass movements. -St. Louis Post-Dispatch Beautifully written, full of things you didn't know, and well worth a read if you want a new view on stories you thought you'd already understood. -Living History
