About This Book

A comic, illustrated chronicle traces England’s past in short, witty poems and cartoons, moving chronologically from prehistoric times through classical contacts, Saxon and Viking incursions, medieval and Norman eras, and several monarchs. The verse combines playful anachronism, caricature, and light satire to condense complex events into accessible vignettes, punctuating historical episodes with humorous observations and visual gags. Sections alternate between brief sketches of institutions, rulers, and episodes and tongue-in-cheek commentary, aiming to entertain while sketching a breezy, unofficial outline of national development.
