  • Brilliant!

    If you did history at school you'll fall about laughing. A delightful confusion of the facts, it's the sort of gentle, educated send-up that could only be written in England - the England that disappeared with the advent of social media, that is! A secondary teacher gave me a copy of this back in the '60's, and shortly afterwards I was unwell and in bed for a week. Smartphones hadn't been invented, thank God, so I read this book, and I remember having to put it down every other sentence to get over hysterics - it was brilliant, and so good to know that everything doesn't have to be taken that seriously!

    Never fails. Funniest 'history' book ever, but only if you were taught Kings, battles, dates etc.
