Horse Nonsense' is another hilarious product of W. C. Sellar and R. J. Yeatman, who were most renowned for writing '1066 and All That: A Memorable History of England, Comprising all the Parts you can Remember, Including 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings and 2 Genuine Dates' (1930). This book is a satire of all things horse-related, from horses themselves to their owners and horse culture in its entirety. A book that will be of much amusement to horse lovers and haters alike, this text makes for a great addition to any personal library and is not to be missed. Many antique books such as this are becoming increasingly hard to come by and costly, and it is with in mind that we are proudly republishing this text here complete with a new introduction.

Methuen Publishing, Ltd.

One of the most well-loved and best-selling British humor titles of all time "Canute began by being a Bad King on the advice of his Courtiers, who informed him (owing to a misunderstanding of the Rule Britannia) that the King of England was entitled to sit on the sea without getting wet." This humorous "history" is a book that has itself become part of the UK's history. The authors made the claim that "All the History you can remember is in the Book," and, for most Brits, they were probably right. But it is their own unique interpretation of events that has made the book a classic; an uproarious satire on textbook history and a population's confused recollections of it.

1066 and All That

1066 And All That

First published in 1930 in Punch, and then in book form, 1066 and All That quickly became a classic of English humour. Sixty years on, the acclaim for this comic satire upon textbook history is undiminished, the book's freshness of wit and humour ensuring it continues to claim a place in the minds of succeeding generations. Here, in one volume, is 'all the History you can remember': 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings and 2 Genuine Dates. From the Olden Days and dashing queen Woadicea to the reigns of the Eggkings - Eggberd, Eggbreth and Eggforth - and their mysterious Eggdeath; from the Dreadful Story of Stephen and his aunt Matilda (or Maud) to the Magna Charter; from the Six Burglars of Calais to the Disillusion of the Monasteries and the life of Broody Mary; from Williamanmary, when 'England was ruled by an orange' to the Boston Tea-Party and the annoying confusion between Napoleon and Nelson; and from Fresh Attempts to Amuse Queen Victoria to the Peace to end Peace, here is the essential history of England. Including for the first time authentic contemporary illustrations, manuscripts and engravings, in both colour and black and white, which bring to life the satirized historical events described, and containing the original line drawings of John Reynolds, this new edition of 1066 and All That will be a source of renewed pleasure to those who already look on the text with affection, and bring equal enjoyment to those who come to the book for the first time.
