THE BEST FUNNY HA-HA AND FUNNY PECULIAR BITS OF BRITISH HISTORY

Henry VIII had six wives but can you remember which of them lost their heads? Did you know there was an English Armada as well as a Spanish one? Or that Britain and America almost went to war over a dead pig? And is the humble Jaffa Cake actually a cake? Or a biscuit?

Stranger Than Fiction is an irreverent compilation of the best funny ha-ha and funny peculiar stories about the weird events and the much weirder people that have graced the pages of British history. Some of them are well-known, most are obscure but all are very bizarre. There are over 250 of them which date from the bloodthirsty and revengeful Dark Ages right up until modern times. Everything from an exploding William the Conqueror to a woman who gave birth to rabbits!
