The award-winning story of Britain, from the arrival of Julius Caesar in 55BC to the death of Queen Victoria in 1901
'Wonderful... This Sceptred Isle has provided one of the greatest treats for listeners in recent years' Paul Donovan, Sunday Times
Christopher Lee's history of Britain provides the definitive radio account of the events and personalities that have shaped our nation. From foreign invasions and war to economic crises and social revolution, this is a compelling journey through centuries of dramatic change.
Volume 4, covering the years 1547 to 1660, describes some momentous events: the long reign of Elizabeth I, the union of England and Scotland under her successor James VI and I and, of course, the Civil War, the execution of Charles I and the abolition of the monarchy for eleven years.
Narrated by Anna Massey, and featuring extracts from Sir Winston Churchill's A History of the English-speaking Peoples read by Paul Eddington and Peter Jeffrey, This Sceptred Isle is absorbing, informative and essential history.
