One of the grandest of historical narratives was from grandad of Polly , Arnold Toynbee . 12 volumes and nearly 30 years to complete .
There was an abridged version but it never caught the popular imagination .
Must admit to a liking for Braudel , not as grand as Toynbee and well within the scope of " incredulity towards " but also full of real people .
