1. 1. 1066 And All That

   A Memorable History of England, Comprising All the Parts You Can Remember, Including 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings and 2 Genuine Dates

   

   The book is a satirical take on the history of England, presenting a whimsical recounting of events from Roman times through to the end of World War I, focusing particularly on the year 1066, known for the Battle of Hastings. It parodies the way history is taught, with an emphasis on memorable events, rulers, and dates, often getting facts humorously wrong or presenting them with a comical twist. The work is characterized by its irreverent tone, wordplay, and deliberate inaccuracies, lampooning both historical figures and the supposed objectivity of historians, ultimately suggesting that what is remembered from history is often a muddle of 'what you can remember' and 'what you cannot help remembering'.
