The award-winning story of Britain, from the arrival of Julius Caesar in 55BC to the death of Queen Victoria in 1901

'Wonderful... This Sceptred Isle has provided one of the greatest treats for listeners in recent years' Paul Donovon, Sunday Times

Christopher Lee's history of Britain provides the definitive radio account of the events and personalities that have shaped our nation. From foreign invasions and war to economic crises and social revolution, this is a compelling journey through centuries of dramatic change.

Volume 9, covering the years 1815 to 1837, describes a period of prosperity, wit and elegance as well as scandal, change and social ferment. The Duke of Wellington became Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel began the Metropolitan Police and slavery was abolished in the British Empire.

Narrated by Anna Massey , and featuring extracts from Sir Winston Churchill's A History of the English-speaking Peoples read by Peter Jeffrey , This Sceptred Isle is absorbing, informative and essential history.

The book drains your time in a world where time is a very valuable thing, in mp3or wma format however; stories can be listened to anywhere and on any music device. It doesn’t matter if you use an mp3 players or a cd player, whether you are jogging, washing the pots or transforming the boring commute to work with excitement and intrigue and you can listen to them at any time.

Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick, simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling through stores trying to find one you really want.

Many sites offer a few free downloadable introductory titles, to get you started and no doubt hooked on the splendour of them.
