"Mir persönlich war die Geschichte etwas zu trocken, gerade im Vergleich mit den anderen Büchern der Autorin. Wer sich allerdings für englische Geschichte interessiert, kommt voll auf seine Kosten. Was das Buch definitiv bietet ist eine hervorragende Abhandlung darüber, nicht alles zu glauben, was man liest und gewissenhaft Quellenangaben zu überprüfen und zu hinterfragen!"
