«1066 and All That» is the historical satire by W. C. Sellar and R. J. Yeatman, published by Methuen in paperback (128 pages, in English).
A parody of school textbooks that surveys English history from early times to the modern era with dry, irreverent humour. The authors turn kings, battles and famous dates into memorable absurdities, with 103 «good things», 5 bad kings and 2 genuine dates. A feigned erudition that caricatures national history.
Work originally published in 1930. This 1975 Methuen edition includes black-and-white illustrations by John Reynolds.
For readers who enjoy history told with irony, British satire and absurd humour.
