Great for Gradeschoolers
This very slim volume deals with two plus generations of powers in both France and England. The author has chosen a rather simplistic writing style, and has elected to gloss over nearly all detail.Not only is detail about the presumptive main characters lacking, but also is detail on the effects the actions of rulers, the main characters, have on the people as a whole.This book might have served as an outline for two or three really good books. Unless buying for you seventh or eigth-grader, I suggest looking elsewhere.
