Audio Book Review: The Pageant of England

7/23/2014

The Pageant of England is a four book series by Thomas B. Costain. The books in the series are The Conquerors, The Magnificent Century, The Three Edwards, and The Last Plantagenets. All four audio books are narrated by David Case who also records under the names of Frederick Davidson, Edward Raleigh, James Nelson, and Ian McKay, The Conquerors covers William the Conquerer through John. The Magnificent Century covers the regin of Henry III. The Three Edwards covered Edward I through Edward III. It ends with the beginning of Richard II. The Last Plantagenents covers Richard II through Richard III.

If you enjoy English history, this is a good series. I prefer Dan Jones to Thomas Costain in terms of writing style. Costain wrote over fifty years ago and can seem a little dated at points. As far as the audio books themselves, I would give them four out of five stars. I was not sure I would like David Case's voice. I found that he does do a good job on this series. I am not sure I would like a work of fiction narrated by him but for non-fiction, he is very good. Overall the series was good enough that I purchased all four audio books through Downpour.com
