'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 3, covering the years 1327 to 1547, takes us through a bloody and turbulent time in English history; the Hundred Years' War with France, the Peasants' revolt, the triumph of Henry V at Agincourt, the Wars of the Roses and, of course, the reign of the larger-than-life Henry VIII.

Narrated by Anna Massey , and featuring extracts from Sir Winston Churchill's A History of the English-speaking Peoples read by Paul Eddington , This Sceptred Isle is absorbing, informative and essential history.

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
