This is the second - a very brief history books I have read... and now I am hooked.  Mark Black condenses long periods of time into a readable and enjoyable educational experience.  I was amazed about how England changed from Henry VII's rule to the end of Henry VIII's rule and beyond.  I never knew that King James I was originally King of Scotland.  Would have liked to have had some maps included to better understand the places discussed in the book.  Also, would have liked to have had some pictures of the people involved... many of these people probably had a painting done during their lives.
