Kings and Queens of England

"Benjamin Soames narrates this short history of the British monarchy at an even, measured pace. He effectively uses vocal expression to help keep young listeners focused...Providing more than facts, both Green and Soames convey the personalities of various rulers." -- A.F. "AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine" "This monarchical story of England, from King Ethelbert of Kent to Queen Elizabeth II, is aimed at 7-12 year olds and features an entertaining ditty that children can learn to remember the order of rulers from William the Conqueror on. " -- Shannon Maughan "Publishers Weekly"

Which king liked to bathe while the band played Rule Britannia? Which queen was so fat she needed a hoist to get on the throne? Which prince shut his wife out of Westminster Abbey to prevent her from being crowned? Who was the blood-thirstiest monarch of them all? Kings and Queens of England is a no-holds-barred account of the British monarchy with the gossip and gore left in, and nothing left out! It leaves no stone unturned in its mission to portray kings and queens as they really were, warts and all.
