Good Details

I love these sweet historical books. If you want an exhaustive history lesson this may not be for you. I like the overviews of the period and then you can explore further detailed information if so inclined.

Very good & important topic!

The audiobook on the Magna Carta was indeed fascinating. Outside of knowing it was an essential audible, written during the Middle Ages, I virtually knew nothing else about it.

Does its job.

This audiobook details the effort and bloodshed that shaped England in it's early days from a Roman region to a harmonious kingdom. Good content overall but the length compel me post four stars.

It's brief and pointed to the Middle Ages

The audiobook looked more like a timeline of History of the Medieval period with dates and names of rulers. So much going on it was challenging to keep up with who was who and where they are from.

Historically important event that shaped the law

If one desires to learn about the 13th century and, still in use today, this audiobook is for you. As always, I found this to be fascinating, and I learned a little along the way.

Such a rich and interesting history.

According to my knowledge, many countries have based their constitutional law upon the Magna Carta and respect it as a foundation for sovereignty, democracy, and the rule of law. This audiobook tells about the Magna Carta, its collapse, its renewal, and its transformation into the laws of today.

Interesting Work About England

An encyclopedic look at one of the most significant & well-known nations in the world. Much was achieved from England. Presumably, the most influential assistance was The Magna Carta which multiple countries use in their democracy. The audible provides good information on what led to certain thinks & everything that is always evident today.
