World Book Advanced (grades 9-12+) England

Still waiting for my search to download . . .

OK, that's better. Using the word "England" for my search, the first encyclopedia article was about the country. Most of the subsequent articles referred to New England.

The Primary Sources and E-books options are interesting, and would be helpful to patrons seeking in-depth research of the country's history. I think that the encyclopedia articles would be more helpful to patrons looking for general information about the nation.

The Sounds option is sort of fun. I got to listen to a few lines of Shakespeare, along with an English jig.
