History with the nasty bits left in! 'England' reveals the awful truth behind the rebellions, riots and rumpuses that have made England what it is today (whatever that is).

Why some people in the Middle Ages ate dove droppings? Which English king was accused of being a werewolf? Whether it's plague, fire and civil war, or roast beef, fish and chips and a cup of tea, if it's got anything to do with the English it's in this book. Mull over the miseries of Middle Ages monarchs, discover ten ways to be killed down a Victorian mine, and find out which dreadful days in history to celebrate with a day off school. History has never been so horrible!
