First Part of King Henry VI (version 2) (audiobook)

The fates of a war-torn France and an England faded of its past glory hang in the balance in this first installment of William Shakespeare’s riveting Wars of the Roses tetralogy. Following the untimely death of King Henry V, lofty ambitions and heated rivalries come the fore in the English court as various members of the nobility vie for power and favour before the coronation of the late king’s young and callow son. Meanwhile, the new monarch’s ascension to the throne is further complicated by the English army’s territorial losses in France.
