Reviews
‘Lavishly illustrated throughout, this is, however, much more than a coffee-table book…a beautiful and informative book.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘Strong points out in his survey of the 1,000 year history of the event…the changing significance of monarchy.’ Financial Times ‘A well organised, sympathetic and fascinating account of the central ritual of the English people. This is a serious book with a full scholarly apparatus of notes, bibliography, charts, chronologies and index…this new book fulfils a need…a model of the illustrated history genre…the design and layout are exceptionally clear and elegant…Sir Roy has been admirably served by his publishers.’ Spectator 'A fascinating and compellingly readable study… all the themes are dealt with eloquently and with wit' TLS ‘A magnificent book, meticulously researched, never dull, and beautifully illustrated.’ Country Life
