The perfect stocking filler for lovers of English history, this concise guide delves into the rich tapestry of English history, tracing the nation's evolution from prehistoric times to the present day. From the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings to the Battle of Hastings, Richard the Lionheart, and the Crusades, the book explores the pivotal moments that shaped England's identity. It also delves into the reigns of Henry VIII, Thomas More, and the Spanish Armada, as well as the Gunpowder Plot and the rise of Cromwell.

The 20th century saw England endure two world wars, the formation of the NHS, and the iconic 1953 Coronation. The nation's sporting achievements were also remarkable, with the World Cup win in 1966 and the rise of The Beatles and Margaret Thatcher. Tragically, the 21st century has been marked by significant events such as Princess Diana's death and Brexit.

Beautifully produced, Collins Little Book of English History is a treasure in itself, making a perfect gift for any visitor to England or enthusiast about its history. With its engaging narrative and stunning illustrations, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the nation's past, offering a deeper understanding of the people, events, and places that have shaped England's remarkable story.
