In fact, the whole production is excellent; the book having a real 'quality' feel to it. Of course, anyone seeking information for making models of the area will find it invaluable.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
Following in the Footsteps of Edward II by Kathryn Warner is a fabulous historical account of the life and reign of Edward II (reigned 1307-1327). Very interesting to learn more about a King that continued to make bad choices, continued to surround himself with “favorites” that did not help his cause, as well as the inevitable decline that was sped forth by his wife, Isabella of France, and her coupe with Roger Mortimer to instill his son Edward III. A quick read in 2 days.
