"A comic satire upon textbook history squeezing in 'all the history you can remember' from the dashing Queen Woadicea to the Magna Charter, from the six burglars of Calais to the disillusion of the
monasteries and to the Boston Tea-Party. Also covers the Peace to end all Peace. This light-hearted look at England and history
provides a colourful commentary for all those with a curiosity for the past."

By Frederick Wilkinson

A book that will not apeal to many, but as a third generation sword and blade maker i have a vested interest in such and added this one to my reference library many years ago.
It's worth looking at if your interested in swords of any kind. AJR I've got the book "Castles" by Charles Oman - it's an interesting old tome, complete with removable map showing the position of all the castles mentioned. Much enjoyed and re-read.
