Books About Britain


The Story of Britain: From the Romans to the Present: A Narrative HistoryThe Story of Britain: From the Romans to the Present: A Narrative History by Rebecca Fraser.

A sparkling anecdotal account with the pace of an epic, about the men and women who created turning points in history. Rebecca Fraser’s dramatic portrayal of the scientists, statesmen, explorers, soldiers, traders, and artists who forged Britain’s national institutions is the perfect introduction to British history.


The Kingdom by the Sea: A Journey Around the Coast of Great BritainThe Kingdom by the Sea: A Journey Around the Coast of Great Britain by Paul Theroux.

Paul Theroux was living and working in London and had barely seen any of the UK. In 1982 he made his way around the coast of Britain by foot, train, and bus. While it wasn’t that long ago, the Britain he describes sounds like another country to what it is today. Like all good travel reads this had me wanting to walk around Britain as well.
