History of Britain & Ireland: The Definitive Visual Guide by Michael Kerrigan, Ann Kay, R.G. Grant, Phillip Parker

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.25

I really enjoyed this illustrated history of Great Britain. I love all books about the UK, but this one is particularly excellent   in its text as well as accompanying illustrations. My only complaint is that it is much heavier on recent history than past history. For example, I’d like as much information on Disraeli or Gladstone as it had on Margaret Thatcher. Overall this was a good book and enjoyable read. I did DNF this last year as I didn’t have the capacity at the time but an end of the year/into the new year read just as I’m pining for another trip to the UK made this reading period perfect for this book.
