Summary: A Wonderful Book For British History Buffs to Own
Comment: This is a typically fascinating book by someone who is truly an expert on British history, Elizabeth Hallam. Ms. Hallam has served as editor for a variety of books concentrating on the ancient and medieval historic periods of England's past - such as The Plantagenant Chronicles - and all her works wonderfuly combine text and beautiful color pictures, maps and large photos to bring us back to the era they are describing. Ms. Hallam's latest work, The British Inheritence, continues this pattern. It concentrates on nearly 100 of the most important documents in British history - the Domesday Book, Magna Carta, etc. - and does so with lucid and descriptive text, which outlines the documents, their history and significance, and best of all, terrific photos of each of the the documents described. And unlike in some other books, the photos of the documents outlined are not small, postage-stamp sized illustrations, but instead are shown, generally in full color, and large enough for the reader to actually be able to make out the words and signatures themselves! Again, to anyone who is at all interested in the history of England, in its famous events, its colorful characters, its kings and its queens, this cofee table book is a wonderful edition to own, and to place in one's library as not only an important book on history in its own right, but also as a work that is that is just plain fun to look at and savor!
