The History of England (Penguin Classics)
Thomas Babington Macaulay, Hugh Trevor-Roper, Hugh Trevor-Roper
This is perhaps the best book I have ever read. It is the story of William of Oranage and James II. The descriptions of James's clash with the Bishops is purely Shakesperian, the description of La Hogue is fantastic. The history and historiography is well-analysed elsewhere, but surprise for me was the sheer power and joy of the narrative. Get the four volume set, its even better.
