Book Description

THE ROYAL STORY is the story of the English Rulers from early times to our present Queen. This is not a scholar's account. The Battle of Hastings is dismissed in a sentence...it is a story of the throne...of how St. Peter blessed and gave his name to Westminster Abbey...of the King who stole the Stone of Scone and the commoner who stole the crown jewels. It is the account of a medieval King who staked his throne to marry the woman he loved, of a treasure that came out of the Holy Land to be the wedding ring of England. Here is all the splendour of England's Monarchy...the development of the Coronation ritual through hundreds of years to the ceremony that will crown Elizabeth.

Told in a popular interesting style; anecdotes are high-lighted to make the individual reigns stand out. In no other book, to our knowledge, can one get the overall picture of the English Royal Line in a form that impresses it on one's memory, and in a book that will be a lasting reference.
