A comic satire upon textbook history squeezing in all the\nhistory you can remember from the Olden Days and dashing Queen\nWoadicea to the reigns of the Eggkings (Eggberd, Eggbreth and\nEggforth, and their mysterious Eggdeath), from the dreadful story\nof Stephen and his aunt Matilda to the Magna Charter, from the six\nburglars of Calais to the disillusion of the monasteries and the\nlife of Broody Mary, from William and Mary, when England was ruled\nby an orange, to the Boston Tea-Party and the annoying confusion\nbetween Napoleon and Nelson, to the Peace to end all Peace. This\nlight-hearted look at England and history provides a colorful\ncommentary for all those with a curiosity for the past.
