This is the third book in the Penguin Monarch series that I have read. I also read Henry VIII and Edward VI. These are really good starting points for anyone interested in the monarchy. They are well researched and very short therefore they remain interesting and don't get dry. Will be reading the rest of the Windsor's next.
