Summary
The monarchs of the Tudor period are among some of the most well-known figures in British history. John Guy presents a compelling and fascinating exploration of the Tudors in the new edition of this Very Short Introduction audiobook.
Looking at all aspects of the period, from beginning to end, he considers Tudor politics, religion, and economics, as well as issues relating to gender and minority rule, and the art, architecture, and social and material culture of the time. Introducing all of the key Tudor monarchs, Guy considers the impact the Tudor period had not only at the time, but also the historical legacy it left behind.

Narration awful
A waste of money. The narrator is absolutly awful and distracts from the content. The book should be re-recorded.

Excellent story, not really understand the decision on the narration
The story is excellent, the content very scholarly. The performance, I found, is at odd with the content. It is distracting and detracts from the content.

Excellent text, weird narration
The reader has the strangest diction, which I found highly distracting. I can take the "moronic interrogative" (rising inflection at the end of sentences) but the listless approach and slightly bemused delivery of the text was most offputting. Then there was the pronunciation - it's Norridge, not Nor-witch, and Burr-ley not Burg-ley. Above all, it's Mare-y Queen of Scots, not Marry. The text itself, however, was excellent, particularly the (slightly unorthodox?) interpretation of the end of Elizabeth's reign.

Awful Narration
I was so happy to find this on audible. However, the narration is terrible. Expression, tone, pitch, and pace are all so badly structured that it is distracting and irritating. Extremely poor choice of narrator for this or any topic.

Poor narration
The book’s content is great the narration is poor and is some parts strange. The narration is a complete distraction and does not reflect the scholarship behind the book. John Guy must be disappointed in the narration.
