British History For Dummies

British history is a rollercoaster ride of power struggles and family intrigues, imperial conquest and class struggles, plagues and religious wars—and it's all in this audiobook. That, plus the liveliest cast of characters found anywhere outside of the King James Bible. Whether you confuse your Tudors with your Stuarts, or wouldn't know Catherine Parr from Catherine Howard, this is the perfect guide for you. From Stonehenge to Hadrian's Wall, the Magna Carta to mad King George, the Battle of Hastings to the Battle for Britain, come on a whirlwind tour through the ages of Britain, and take in a nation at war, global empire building and forbidden love.

This book is a riotous, irreverent account of the people and events that have shaped Britain. Always getting those kings and queens confused? Never sure what happened when? Then you need this book. Inside you'll find rip-roaring stories of power-mad kings, executions, invasions, high treason, global empire building, and forbidden love—not bad for a nation of stiff upper lips!
