Description
An entertaining romp through history in bite-size chunks. Hundreds of little-known facts, curious anecdotes and bizarre-but-true tales for an alternative, potted history of the countries of mainland Britain. English History: did you know that the Sumptuary Laws of 1363 forbade merchants from wearing shoes with points longer than 6½”? Or that Henry VII prized the preserved leg of St George amongst his most precious possessions? Or heard that the Georgian populace were in awe of a sagacious, fortune-telling pig in 1795? All this and more!

Delightful page turner. Although humerous, the reader still gets the flavour of events and the period in which they occurred. Unkown History in nice bite size chunks. There is definitely a place for history presented in this manner.
