Synopsis
Why do unfortunates suffer from Montezuma's revenge? Just what was so Great about Peter, Catherine, Frederick and Alexander? What did Cleopatra see to admire in the fat man with a beard - Mark Anthony? Learn all this and more in Will Cuppy's humorous romp through the great names of world history. First published in 1950, this lighthearted but accurately researched volume presents the stories of villains and heroes through the ages - from Nero and Cleopatra to Attila the Hun; from Lady Godiva and Lucrezia Borgia to Christopher Columbus and Leif the Lucky - as you've never known them before: foolish, fallible, and very much our common ancestors.
