Wow! What an interesting way to start my morning. I have read some history of England and find it very intriguing. I started off in high school with Thomas Costain's series of books on the the Plantagenets. I even wrote an honors paper on the question of Richard III and the events on Bosworth Field.

I think it's a shame that US high schools teach almost nothing about the history of what is the ancestorial home for many of us. English history is fascinating and well worth a trip to Amazon or the library to find out more.

Dana, do you have any suggestions on which books provide the best over view of English history?
