This collection of poems is loosely based on famous historical characters. Poems they may be, but not "poetry". This is comedy in verse. What was the real story behind the gunpowder plot (and who was this guy called Fawkes)? What happened after the English Civil War? How did Rasputin meet a sticky end? All these questions and more are answered in this book. So forget those boring historylessons! Let's have a bit of fun together but beware. You may accidentally learn some history on the way...
