Whimsical
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This delightful little book is a gem! With whimsical verse, the author takes jabs at almost every major event in British history (and more than a few minor ones). If you have a basic knowledge of England's past, you'll get many of the in-jokes so thoroughly woven into the book.
Couplets of laughter.

Interested in English history or not the hugely witty use of the English Language to describe 2000 years of history in 200 pages of rhyming couplets is a magnificent achievement. Succinct, unpatriotic even accurate, the wicked sense of humour gets straight to the point of the most serious events. Well I lied a bit , a little knowledge of English history does help the humour along.
