There are certain names which are familiar, as names, to all mankind; and every person who seeks for any degree of mental cultivation, feels desirous of informing himself of the leading outlines of their history, that he may know, in brief, what it was in their characters or their doings which has given them so widely-extended a fame. Consequently, great historical names alone are selected; and it has been the writer's aim to present the prominent and leading traits in their characters, and all the important events in their lives, in a bold and free manner, and yet in the plain and simple language which is so obviously required in works which aim at permanent and practical usefulness. This volume is dedicated to Richard I. (Summary from the preface of the book) (6 hr 26 min)

I couldn't even finish the first chapter. The accent of the reader is giving me headaches. English is only my second language therefore I'm not used to such accents. The book is interesting but it has to be read by someone with a more universally comprehensible English accent
Awful reading in places

Good book, apart from the lack of dates?!? Not a great reading, but it is listenable. My understanding is that the readers are volunteers and the books are free to listen to, so I can not complain. Would recommend.

First few chapters were difficult to listen to because of the lip smacking. Not the best of this series but still worth a listen.
