About this book

A memorable history of England, comprising all the parts you can remember, including 103 good things, 5 bad kings and 2 genuine dates. Book beloved by British schoolchildren everywhere, and hated by their history teachers, it gives a tongue-in-cheek "potted history" in an amusing format. It was written by two contributors to Punch magazine. - Summary by LynneT
