Read by Christian Rodska

The narrative commences 55 years before the birth of Christ, when Julius
Caesar famously 'turned his gaze upon Britain' and concludes with the Battle
of Bosworth in 1485. Along the way we encounter a plethora of closely observed
characters, all of whom breathe life into the page: William the Conqueror,
Alfred the Great, Richard the Lionheart, Joan of Arc. The beginnings of Parliament,
the Church and the monarchy are all analysed alongside this comprehensive chronology.
