The Story of Britain: From the Romans to the Present: A Narrative History
$18.95
True to its name, this book is indeed a story. In fact, it reads like a transcription of an oral history--it jumps around, looses threads, and is plan wrong in some places. Also, it many ways, it is a collection of anecdotes, rather than a cohesive history. It needed a heavy-handed editor to pull it together and fix errors such as word omissions and grammatical mistakes that made for a difficult read at times. Probably the biggest flaw for the American reader is that it relies heavily on common cultural knowledge of Britain (e.g., how Parliament works)--this is not necessarily a bad thing, of course, but it can leave the reader foundering if she isn't familiar with the subtext. Overall, I enjoyed reading it, but it helps to read it more for background and a sense of the environment rather than an academic work of history.

I decided to check out this magazine when I came across it because I love England and all things English. I have been there a couple of times and would like to see more of England in my future travels. This magazine helps me learn about the different cities and towns in England and gives me a better idea of where I would like to go. Currently, I am not planing a trip, but I still enjoy reading about the things going on all over in the UK.
