Title: A History of Britain in Ten Enemies Author: Terry Deary Narrator: Toby Longworth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 14 minutes Release date: October 10, 2024 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. 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. 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. - Elizabeth I would count as a minor royal without the Spanish Armada - Without the Nazis, Churchill would be remembered as an opposition windbag - The surprisingly sadistic Boudica would be forgotten if it weren't for the Roman Ninth Legion And after all, every nation sometimes needs a bit of unifying Blitz spirit (although in an ideal world, we wouldn’t have accidentally let Corporal Hitler go in the first place). The British have a proud history of choosing their enemies, from the Romans to the Germans. You might even say those enemies made Britain what it is today... A History of Britain in Ten Enemies is a witty, whistlestop tour of British history that will have you laughing as you find out what they didn't teach you in school. 'If you could take just one history book to a desert island, this would be it. Laugh out loud funny... Pure joy' Conn Iggulden 'Ram-packed with mind-blowing facts, hilarious characters, and little-known tales' Dan Schreiber 'Playful, cheeky, and very clever, this is a book for anyone who ever wished there was a Horrible Histories for grown-ups' Kate Lister ©2024 Terry Deary (P)2024 Penguin Audio
