Very disappointing ( ) I wanted to read Peter Ackroyd's "Foundation" on the history of England because I am getting ready to read Nancy Goldstone's "Four Queens" and a series of Philippa Gregory books. I loved the way Peter Ackroyd seamlessly moved between the kings of England, the traditions of the people, and popular misconceptions. The book had a good pace and it kept me wanting more. I am going to see what else he has written.
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.

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.
