Henry III the Great King England Never Knew It Had by Barren Baker

Good for anyone who likes royalty, early English history or the English monarchy. There is a timeline of his life; map of England, Wales and Scotland during his reign. As well as Europe around 1260, London in the 13^th century and Westminster Palace in the 13^th century. Can be a book used as a textbook and general book at the store. A good introduction to his life from birth to death. Also, there are a few quotes. Each chapter is divided into year periods – ex. 1199-1219; 1233-1234; 1265-1267. They are not the same year periods because different events and situations took different lengths of his life. For some readers, it may drag and it does go in-depth for some. It is a nice secondary source for those who would want to use it in there research. There is a focus on facts and not really the interpretation of them. There are a few quotes here and there – so some primary sources throughout the book and as well at the end of the book is a section of images. Images like a family tree, King John, sketch of Henry in a cradle and others.

It is a nice book to have for those who have an interest in some sort of English history or a good resource if working on a paper.
