Publisher's summary

As a modern nation with deeply ancient roots, England has undoubtedly impacted the world around it. But how much of England is English? From the earliest Anglo-Saxon monarchs to the Windsor family, monarchs with foreign origins have occupied the throne. Much like its language, England has been shaped by the cultures that came to the island and the cultures around the world it attempted to overtake.

Continually marred by bloody conflict from its nascent days, England has thrived due to its strange brand of adaptability and the indomitable will to carry onward.

In A Brief History of England, you will step back into the past to uncover the underpinnings of English civilization’s unique resiliency. From Boudicca to the Blitz, from beheadings to Brexit, scroll up and click 'buy now' to meet the culture that conquered the world.

Fun and educational

I am English and spent the first 20 years of my life there. To be honest, as a youth, I didn’t really pay attention or care about abundance of incredible history I was surrounded by, not until I moved away that is. I have made up for lost time with this brilliant audio title that has educated me to a huge extent on the history of my country. Highly recommended listening 5/5

Nice for my student

I have a student who is so interested in history. Much more European countries. I am not so I guess this is perfect for her. Thank you for this would love to hear more from other countries. Mostly asian since I am Asian.

Worth every penny

I loved ‘A Brief History of America’ so much that I had to look for the second book in the series. I can say I am not disappointed by Book 2. I will just go ahead and get the rest of the books.

Very Interesting Book!

As a major history buff, I love audiobooks like this one, very descriptive, efficient delivery and not drawn out, quick and to the point with maximum clarity, very impressed, 10/10 highly recommend!

Very Informative

England is one of the top countries on my bucket list to visit. Actually Covid ruin plans for that trip last year. I have heard a lot about England growing up in a country once a colony of England. England has influenced many of the Caribbean countries’ culture, English dialect and food. I enjoyed learning more about England’ s own history and I hope to see the country soon.
