I'm not rating this because I didn't fully read it. I got this from the library basically for the pictures. I love to see how the palaces have changed throughout the years. Also seeing sketches and artifacts from Nonsuch Castle was very interesting. Too bad Charles II had to give it to his concubine Barbara Villiers, so she could ruin it. I enjoyed the older sketches of Hampton, Windsor, Whitehall, Greenwich, Holyrood, Kensington, Westminster and The Tower.
