Story
Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

Viva la France!!
I am actually from France, so I was very excited to listen to this audiobook about our rich history. I have listened to other audiobooks from Dominic Hayes and they are always exceptionally done. In this audiobook, Hayes brings tons of insight and information to the listener about the Pre-Roman landscape, the grip of Rome, the impact of Romes collapse, war, plagues, and so much more! I enjoyed this book very much and I am sure you will too!

Engaging History of France
Listening to this audiobook felt like embarking on a thrilling time travel adventure, guided by Dominic Hayes's compelling storytelling. This audiobook unravelled France's rich tapestry from its enigmatic Celtic beginnings, through the dramatic epochs of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, right up to the throes of modernity. Hayes has a knack for making history come alive, weaving facts with vivid narrative that captivated me every step of the way. As someone deeply fascinated by my French heritage, I was delighted by the deep dives into the nation's transformation under Roman rule, the tumult of revolutions, and the cultural explosions that shaped the France we know today. This isn't just another history book; it's a journey through time, rendered in such detail and enthusiasm that it's impossible not to be drawn in. Whether you're a history buff or just casually curious about how France became the beacon of culture and politics it is, this audiobook is an absolute gem.

Great History of France
I'm getting ready for a trip to France. I thought it would be good to brush up on some French history. This audiobook version made listening to France's history so easy and engaging. I really enjoy the Celtic and Middle Ages. Haynes did a great job covering the subject. The narrator has a pleasant clear voice and I enjoyed her pronunciation of French Names and words. Overall, it was a great audiobook and a very enjoyable listen.
