Product Description


Since its publication in October of 1930, this classic spoof on textbook history has sold four million copies worldwide and has itself become a part of humor history. This anniversary edition is a celebration of this uproarious satire's lingering appeal and is enhanced by brilliant new drawings by cartoonist Stephen Appleby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest book there is, October 31, 2004
By Schmerguls "schmerguls" (Sioux City, Ia USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: 1066 And All That (Literature/Arts) (Hardcover)
This 116 page book made me laugh till the tears came on every page and made me laugh till it hurt more than any other book I have read in my long lifetime. From the first pages, where among other things the authors comment on the way Romans count backwards, till the last page which deals with 1918 this book is a continuous hoot The test questions at the end of each of the five parts are each a scream in themselves. If you have ever taken a test you will glory in them, and wish that you had been given tests such as that (well, maybe not, but one can dream...) There is not a page which lacks some outrageously funny material. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

5.0 out of 5 stars Memorable, November 25, 1997
This review is from: 1066 And All That (Literature/Arts) (Hardcover)
An unforgettably funny and very brief review of all the English history that most adults are able to remember, suitably warped, as all things memorable usually are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can Americans Understand This Book?, May 18, 2006
By Chris Ward (Costa Rica) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 1066 And All That: A Memorable History of England (Methuen Humour Classics) (Paperback)
As a US Citizen, I approached this noted history book with trepidation. Would I be put off by high-faluting British snootiness on a subject I knew nothing about?

I'm pleased to say that this informative volume answers all your questions about Great Britain's history without making you feel like a fool. I learned how the British became the "Top Country" by winning many memorable battles which will long be remembered. And I now know how to tell apart Napoleon and Nelson: Napoleon held his arm like THIS and Nelson held his arm like THAT. No more confusion.

Will Americans understand this book? YES! It's even funny in places-- is this intentional, do you suppose?
