For me, this was reference material. I'm lucky enough to have royalty in my background, so I bought this to find out more about my ancestors. It's well written and thorough.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, Horrid Kindle Edition
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2011
Verified Purchase
I must note that the poor rating has little to do with the author and everything to do with the poor quality of this Kindle edition.
This Kindle ebook costs $31.56 to buy and yet all the images, figures, tables and illustrations in the book are useless due to the fact they are too small and blur when zoomed in. The Appendix in the kindle edition becomes a tasteless joke with all figures with the descents and genealogies rendered useless. Then the notes in the book don't link to their respective notes section.
I was stupid in thinking that my inability to access the images and the lack of linking for the notes were restrictions the sample carried - and that those would be gone once I purchased the book.
I'm disappointed and frustrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'The Earliest English Kings' - Definately one for the 'Favourites' shelf
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2009
Verified Purchase
This is a wonderfully researched and tightly constructed account of the earliest English kings and their inter-relationships. It draws upon virtually all that is either known or might be reasonably presumed about them, which in some instances is slight indeed. Kirby's strength as a scholar carries the book, and the reader with it. Inevitably it displays much of the chronological scaffolding he has painstakingly constructed, tested and used to substantially enlarge the structure of our knowledge of this early period. Kirby is a major scholar and everything he has published over the previous five decades is deeply considered, forensic and a joy to read. This book is no exception.

Excellent account of the early Anglo-Saxon kings of England, running from our earliest sources until Alfred the Great and the Viking incursions. Very readable.
