The Story of Britain
by Rebecca Fraser, 785pgs, hardcover
Amazon site
Overall Grade: A-
While quite dry in some places (thus meriting the minus), I thought this was a very good work for covering the history of Britain from the Roman conquests up to pretty much the last minute. It was very edifying to me to finally learn that chronology of English history because I encounter so much Brit stuff through my affinity for it, and this will give me a better understanding of where they are coming from. This is definitely non-fiction folks.
