Having read most of the Everyman collection, it is enjoyable to go back and read some of the 1000 from this collection of the early 1900s. Finding a new world in one of these books is always interesting, but I can see why the editors of the new Everyman series have not included this one.
It is flat. It covers a relatively short historical period and rattles off a succession of English kings and princes as they colorlessly annialate one another. I was hoping for a perspective on miricles and religious views of this time, but this also was very bland and repetive.
My conclusion would be this happens to be a documents recovered from early England that was saved by the church for the sake of the topic rather than value in the materials. Perhaps this would be interesting to a scholar of the period, but if you are looking for an interesting read, I would not recommend it.
