A book for all lovers of history: the experienced and the novice,
the serious and the silly. Gimson's Kings and Queens whirls us
through the lives of our monarchs - from 1066 and William the
Conqueror right up to Queen Elizabeth II and the present-day - to
tell a tale of bastardy, courage, conquest, brutality, vanity,
vulgarity, corruption, anarchy, absenteeism, piety, nobility,
divorce, execution, civil war, madness, magnificence, profligacy,
frugality, philately, abdication, dutifulness, family breakdown and
family recovery. Written in Andrew Gimson's inimitable style, and
illustrated by Martin Rowson, this is both a primer and a refresher
for anyone who can't quite remember which were the good and bad
Edwards or Henrys, or why so-and-so succeeded to the throne rather
than his second cousin. 'The most entertaining and instructive book
on the English monarchy you will ever read' Daily Telegraph
