THE KEW GARDENS MINDFUL PUZZLES COLLECTION

In this beautifully illustrated full-colour hardback, Cath Senker delves into the extraordinary history of the British monarchy from Alfred the Great to King Charles III. There have been benevolent rulers, violent ones, religious fanatics, brilliant economists, masters of diplomacy and the power hungry. But whether they have abused their power or used it for good, each monarch has played a part in the rich tapestry of British history, coping with both international and civil wars, rebellions and criticism. Including useful family trees, timelines and information boxes, The Kings and Queens of Britain introduces this thousand-year history in an accessible and engaging way, providing rich biographical detail of Britain’s remarkable monarchs.
