There is a young fellow named Mick. Who's adapted the old limerick. To cover, with mirth. The whole history of Earth. And what made its characters tick.

These 100 lively and humorous limericks take us back to before the beginning of time itself, to the Big Bang, to the present day. Covering everyone's favourite history lessons (and some surprising ones too!), humourist and puzzle guru Mick Twister has cleverly raided the tomes of the past, picked at the bones of the world's greatest figures, moments, and events, and condensed the most complex of human activities into short and hilarious poems to make you chuckle.

From a geezer called Caesar to the advent of the World Wide Web, this is the funniest way to learn about the past. Henry VIII, Mary Wollstonecraft, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, and Alan Turing all get the limerick treatment along with important world events such as the Boston Tea Party, the Berlin Wall's rise and fall, and the Watergate scandal.

Accompanied by amazing illustrations and witty commentary, you'll learn so much about the history of the world in this book--and laugh out loud as you do so. Whoever said that history was boring has clearly not discovered this book!
