Special Fields
Local DescriptionA romp through England’s kings and queens with all of the weirdest, wildest tales front and centre. From Anglo-Saxons to Tudors, the inimitable Mitchell covers the lot. For lovers of Stephen Fry’s ‘Mythos’ series, Mitchell’s hilarious findings make for a great read. Recommended by Sarah. DescriptionA seriously FUNNY, seriously CLEVER history of our early kings and queens by one of our favourite comedians and cultural commentators This will be the most refreshing, entertaining history of England you'll have ever read. Certainly, the funniest. Because David Mitchell will explain how it is not all names, dates or ungraspable historical headwinds, but instead show how it's really just a bunch of random stuff that happened with a few lucky bastards ending up on top. Some of these bastards were quite strange, but they were in charge, so we quite literally lived, and often still live, by their rules. It's a great story. |
