Beschreibung
Many of us were put off British history by the dreary way it was taught at school. But now, here is a chance to have a good laugh and learn all that stuff you feel you really ought to know about the British and their long, glorious, but often ludicrous history. Read about how Anglo-Saxon liberals struggled to be positive about immigration, how England's class system was established, why Britain's kings were the first in Europe to be brought to heel and much, much more. It's as entertaining as a witch burning and a lot more laughs.
