Succinct and fascinating

Loved the melodious voice of the narrator. I felt it was well edited and easy to follow. Will probably listen again soon!

History at it's best!

I love the way the book chronicles the history of the kings and queens of England. If you have an interest in the English Monarcy and/or some of the major turning points of England's history, this is the audiobook for you.

Always new

Never tire of reading about English Monarchy. It's always new & quite thrilling. Full of history & lessons.

Good documentary.

Overall, I think this was a good book. my only reservation is that I feel like we could have been given more detail on some of the monarchs.

loved it, but the narrators voice was grating

I loved this book so much! what a fun ride through history, but the narrator was very stiff, and I couldn't find any enjoyment in her voice. normally voices if I don't immediately enjoy, grow on me, but this one never did. still absolutely loved the book though.

An enthralling travel through history

Where does The Lives of the Kings and Queens of England rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Such a complete listening pleasure, the best book I have listened to so far I just couldn't stop I needed more.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

In the car, on the bus or cuddled up in bed at night I just loved in. Antonia Fraser may have edited this fabulous book but Wanda Mc Cadden brought the rise and fall of the English monarchy to life for me. Just fantastic!!
