Publisher Description
From the invaders of the dark ages to the aftermath of the coalition, one of Britain's most respected journalists, Simon Jenkins, weaves together a strong narrative with all the most important and interesting dates in a book that characteristically is as stylish as it is authoritative.
A Short History of England sheds light on all the key individuals and events, bringing them together in an enlightening and engaging account of the country's birth, rise to global prominence and then partial eclipse.There have been long synoptic histories of England but until now there has been no standard short work covering all significant events, themes and individuals.
Now updated to take in the rapid progress of recent events and beautifully illustrated, this magisterial history will be the standard work for years to come.
Customer Reviews
Does work!
@Mick Abrahams this book definitely works fine, we have checked and double checked. We have also spoken to the support team and they say it may be because you have an old version of iBooks or iOS, so try updating.
Hope you enjoy!
Do not buy - terrible ebook
The content of the book is great but the experience is awful. It is not a proper ebook and none of the usual options such as text size, bookmarks etc work. The size of the text is microscopic and strains my eyes. The table of contents is clearly a mistake as it must be for another book. The table of contents they include in this book are below:
Chapter one hanging out
Chapter two remembering
Chapter three finding your voice
Chapter four growing
Chapter five giving
Chapter six doing it yourself
Also the ebook crashes regularly and loses your page so you constantly have to find the page you are up to. Very disappointed!
Don't Buy
This book is one of those that crashes iBooks so don't buy and waste your money. Crashes iBook ver 1.3 on iPhone 4 & iPad 2.
