 I finished this book with very mixed feelings. Admiration for the clear and lively retelling of some of the basic stories of our history; and dismay at the thought of another five volumes like this one, where the narrative is weighed down by its embroidery of speculation, question-begging, sententiousness and sheer whimsy. Belongs to Series
One of Britain's most popular and esteemed historians tells the epic story of the birth of England. The first in an extraordinary six-volume history, "Foundation" takes the reader from the primeval forests of England's prehistory to the death, in 1509, of the first Tudor king, Henry VII.
