External Reviews
"This was wonderful, as was the first volume! It is a solid background to each episode in seasons 2 and 3- obviously it won't give you the entire story behind a particular historical figure or event, but enough to help grasp the basics."
"This book is for fans of Netflix’s hit series, The Crown which recently released its third season. It delves into each episode and breaks down the historical elements, sorting out fact from fiction." - Goodreads Reviews.
