A ridiculously funny history of Britain for adults from the multimillion-copy bestselling author of the Horrible Histories, perfect for fans of Unruly by David Mitchell. 'Ram-packed with mind-blowing facts, hilarious characters, and little-known tales' Dan Schreiber 'If you could take just one history book to a desert island, this would be it. Laugh out loud funny... Pure joy' Conn Iggulden Ah, Britain. So special. The greatest nation on earth, some say. And we did it all on our own. Didn?t we? As it happens Britannia got its name from the Romans, and for the past two centuries we have been ruled by Germans. As Horrible Histories author Terry Deary argues, nations and their leaders are defined by the enemies they make.
