Place reservation for The sun rising : James I and the dawn of a global BritainIn 1603, England stood on the edge of crisis. Elizabeth I was dead, and the Tudor line had come to an end. From the ashes of the old order rose a new dynasty - the Stuarts - and with it, the dream of a united Great Britain. But first the country had to play catch up. The new King James sent expeditions to distant Russia, the spice-rich courts of India, the islands of Japan and the shores of the New World. As the English began to travel beyond their island more than ever before, and as the fledgling East India Company grew closer with the crown, the seeds of the future British Empire were sown. In this epic, panoramic story, Anna Whitelock at last casts the reign of the first King of Great Britain in a new light.
