The Monarchy of England : The Tudors and Stuarts (Abridged ed)

This is the second part of David Starkey's new mammoth venture - "Monarchy": three books linked to 18 hours of television on the Kings and Queens of England.

It is read by Tim Piggott-Smith. "Monarchy" is more than the biographies of the kings and queens of England.

It is an in-depth examination of what the English monarchy has meant in terms of the expression of the individual, the Mother of Parliaments, Magna Carta, the laws of England and the land of England.

This is the history of ideas and ideals, as well as colourful characters, brought to life by David Starkey's unique gifts as a communicator.

David Starkey's scholarship combines with his engaging and popular style to produce another winner.
