About This Item
London: The Folio Society, 2014. Twelfth printing. Near Fine. The book is tight with solid hinges and clean illustrated boards. Top corners lightly bumped. The textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Illustrations by John Reynolds. Introduction by Ned Sherrin. 116 pages. 5¼ x 8" tall. Slipcase is near fine with very faint wear.
It is the authors' contention that "All the History you can remember is in the Book," and the majority of readers agree. But it is their own unique interpretation of events that has made the book a classic; an uproarious satire on textbook history and a population's confused recollections of it. Comprising "all the parts you can remember including 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings and 2 Genuine Dates."
