The Story of Britain: From the Romans to the Present: A Narrative History | Rebecca Fraser
1 post | 2 read | 5 to read
A beautifully written story, a box of delights, a treasure trove: final proof of truths superiority over fiction.Andrew Roberts Rebecca Fraser's dramatic portrayal of the larger-than-life characters who forged Britain's national institutions is an enjoyable introduction to British history and a useful chronology of the past. A highly readable account of the men and women who created turning points in history, it is packed with anecdotes about British scientists, explorers, soldiers, traders, writers, and artists.
