This is an oversized book with full-page black and white front pages from British newspapers, covering significant events in history and the personal lives of the British royal family, from Queen Victoria to Queen Elizabeth II. An introductory page details the highlights, as shown by the following pictures, of each monarch's reign. This is an interesting look back at history--the news articles that accompany the photos are absorbing, and the occasional ads (doctor's advice: drink Guiness) and other tidbits (tomorrow's weather: Unsettled) are fun reading.
