The Houses of Hanover and Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha

All good!

Don't bother with this. It's a total waste of money and time.Facts are wrong and useful information scarce.I consigned it to my local Goodwill store immediately.

I bought this book along with another in the series to bridge my British Royal history knowledge gap. I also purchased The Lives of the Kings and Queens of England, Revised and Updated edited by Antonia Fraser and found the text in this book is identical to that volume. I think there are additional photos in this book, but it is not something completely new. If you have The Lives of the Kings and Queens of England, do not bother with this volume.

I thought Antonia Fraser was a better editor than this ..gross errors ..confusing George I with George IV, hyphenating words willy-nilly ...I'm sure some of them are typos but isn't that what an editor is for? Great pictures but I'm still looking for a book that names everyone in the group photo taken at Ducky and Ernie's wedding ...

This would be fine for a junior high school history assignment, but don't look for any detail beyond that level. The overall impression is one of superficiality, with not a great deal of attention paid to accuracy.
