Accompanying the text are 150 contemporary illustrations and handsome color drawings of the royal coats of arms, whose origins and significance are clearly explained. Richly illustrated and vividly narrated, this is a glittering celebration of almost one thousand years of English history, told through the lives and deeds of England's kings and queens.
