Great Tales from English History, Vol 3 by Robert Lacey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the third and final volume of the Great Tales from English History series. This volume covers the period from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to the 1950s. Like the previous volumes, this one consists of a series of short stories from the history of England, well, actually Great Britain in this case. The stories are in chronological order, but they are not necessarily very tightly coupled into a narrative. So it’s an easy book to read, and you can set it down for a few days and then pick it up again without any problems.

I enjoyed this book, and the entire series, and I recommend them to anyone who is interested in English history. It’s a very gentle introduction to the subject, and a fun and easy read.
