A review by sloshydolphin
Monarchy: England and Her Rulers from the Tudors to the Windsors, by David Starkey

informative slow-paced

4.0

While the author is without doubt a little Englander and the book by its nature is focused on just the British Monarchy as an institution and how it has evolved over the last 600 years.  The is discussion about most of the Kings and Queens of England but the book focuses on what has changed in the institution and why as apposed to a history of Kings and Queens.

The book is a bit dry, but that is the nature of the subject, but it was informative and interesting although at times i could feel the authors personal preference of how great monarchy is coming though.

It is not a book for someone who knows nothing on the subject but overall not a bad read.
