Dan Snow The Story of England

You don’t have to travel far for English history to spring into rich and vivid life. The best-selling historian takes us on a journey through the history of England, written with the History Hit team, with tales of invaders and immigrants; the polar bear and lions at the Tower of London; the importance of Liverpool Docks in global trade; the significance of the atomic weapons base at Orford Ness; the visitors and what they brought here. It’s a tale of how our ancestors overcame, co-operated and shaped this country with each passing century to what we are today. Talking to Will Hanrahan
