Remember, Remember (The Fifth of November)

Britain and its people have a long and noble historythat is now over 2000 years old. Like all the beststories it is one of blood, death, love, sex and betrayal,yet also a tale of courage, honour, pride, skill, invention,endurance and, sometimes, just pure luck. Remember,Remember is a history of Britain in bitesize chunks,containing all of the important dates, people andevents that we should know, reminding us of whatwe?ve forgotten from school and perhaps teaching ussomething new. Go back in time to: sneer at Bad KingJohn as he is forced to sign the Magna Carta; suffer theagonies of the black death; charge with Henry V againstthe French at Agincourt; see the birth of the IndustrialRevolution; watch the coronation of the nineteen-oldprincesswho gave us the the term `Victorian?; and takeheart from the courage and endurance of the menwho fought and endured the horrors of both worldwars. Concise, authoritative yet wonderfullyentertaining, Remember, Remember makes historyinteresting and accessible for everyone once again.Judy Parkinson is an author and compiler, her mostrecent book for Michael O?Mara was the bestsellingtitle I Before E (Except After C).
