Why listen to The Plantagenets?
David Case narrates, and narrative history is a genre that audio flatters enormously. Dates and dynasties that blur on the page acquire shape when a voice paces them for you, and a seventeen hour volume becomes a lecture series you would actually choose to attend.Since The Three Edwards is the third entry and the only one on our shelves, a word on order: history series are far more forgiving than fiction, and each era largely stands on its own, so starting here costs you little beyond some earlier context. It suits listeners who discovered history through podcasts and want something more sustained, as well as anyone whose knowledge of medieval England stops at 1066 and would rather like it to continue.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★☆ 4.0/5
My verdict is a solid four. A 4.3 average across 563 ratings is the kind of steady, well fed consensus I trust, neither inflated by a handful of fans nor dragged about by controversy. Costain’s approach clearly still finds listeners, and David Case gives the material an authoritative reading. I dock half a mark only because our shelf offers a single volume of a longer series, and dynastic history is best consumed as the saga it is.
