What They're Saying
Critics Review
”[E]ngaging and perceptive … Given its extensive timeframe and diverse cast of characters, Crown & Sceptre could easily have become little more than a potted history of Britain from 1066 to the present. But while Ms. Borman offers deft and thoughtful assessments of every reign … the chronological approach is enriched by details that help to humanize her subjects.” * Wall Street Journal *
