A good foundation
This book gives you all the background you will need to study an AS/A2 course on Henry VII. It will provide you with hundreds of useful facts and introduce you to all the key-players of the period.

However, analytically it lacks substance. To write a quality answer, more than just Pendrill is required. In places it is extremely good, but in others it glosses over with worrying nonchalance.

Therefore, it is worth buying, but to achieve a decent grade, a history book is required, not just a textbook, such as this.

Not impressed!
I felt that seen as this book was bought as an aid for my 6th form history studies, that it simply did not have the depth that is required from a text book for that level. Although it makes some interesting points, I did not feel that it was any more informative than the text books that I had used for my GCSEs.

Lacks a bit of meat
I have just read a reply review, from a "Dr Hogworth McCrombe", on my shoe review, in which he mocked my clearly impressive number of degrees, by writing that he had a total of 26 doctorates, including two PhDs, and a number of Masters. Clearly this review, was written with the evil that only those have no Dip O or MChem, can acheive. Now! This text by Pendrill, is okay, however, it lacks real substance, and has several galring errors, however, it is okay as an introductory text, to be read of an evening. I am currently teaching As History at Ashtead Wood Grammar school, for boys, and girls and boys at sixth form, in addition to teaching; Mathematics, Geology, Geography, Chemistry, Alchemy, Biology, Physics, and Studies of the General kind. So mock me, you unqualified reader, if you like, but I am afraid it does not wash with me, or Simkins the deputy head boy, who was throughly amused by this when I showed him YOUR review.
