Items related to 1066 and All That
"Canute began by being a Bad King on the advice of his Courtiers, who informed him (owing to a misunderstanding of the Rule Britannia) that the King of England was entitled to sit on the sea without getting wet." 1066 And All That is a book that has itself become part of our history. The authors made the claim that "All the History you can remember is in the Book" and, for most of us, they were probably right. But it is their own unique interpretation of events that has made the book a classic; an uproarious satire on textbook history and our confused recollections of it: "The first date in English History is 55 BC, in which year Julius Caesar (the memorable Roman Emperor) landed, like all other successful invaders of these islands, at Thanet., This was in the Olden Days, when the Romans were top nation on account of their classical education, etc."

Review:
Possibly the best thing of its kind ever done ... Quotation is hopeless: every sentence clamours for it

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One of the most well-loved and best-selling British humor titles of all time Canute began by being a Bad King on the advice of his Courtiers, who informed him (owing to a misunderstanding of the Rule Britannia) that the King of England was entitled to sit on the sea without getting wet. This humorous history is a book that has itself become part of the UK's history. The authors made the claim that All the History you can remember is in the Book, and, for most Brits, they were probably right. But it is their own unique interpretation of events that has made the book a classic; an uproarious satire on textbook history and a population's confused recollections of it. One of the most well-loved and best-selling humour titles of all time. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
