English history book 4 of a series
- If you enjoyed Dan Jones latest "The Plantagenets", you will enjoy Costain's 4 book series. This book covered Richard II through Richard III. It ends with the beginning of the Tudor Dynasty. The only reason I gave it 4 stars on performance and narration is I was not sure I would like David Case's voice. I found that he does do a good job on this book. I am not sure I would like a work of fiction narrated by him but for non-fiction, he is very good. I will eventually buy the rest of the series.
