A history like no other. An eccentric, exotic parody of history. A compilation of odd bits of factual and fictional history. Nowhere else can be found such a wealth of
misinformation, regarding both the famous and the previously unknown including:
Dimaryp, the builder of inverted pyramids, Kahfre the carver of pornographic cartouches, details of Edward the Confessor’s clerics preparing and hearing his flood
of pleas for absolution, Sir Tantermount Testosterone and the penguin problem, the sad story of Henry viii’s best man, the midinette and the Battle of Waterloo, Polly
Perttity and the fire of London.
Those who have read the author’s previous works, Historical Halitosis and Historical
Chilblains will relish the opportunity to renew their acquaintance with her inimitable
combination of exquisitely researched misinformation and subtle inanity.
In a nutshell – a very funny collection of ridiculous assumptions given a spurious air
of authenticity by the inclusion every now and then of real historical events, though
even these are hidden in a mishmash of utter drivel.
