Krátky popis
Richard Tames, the well-known popularizer of English history,
offers an entertaining exploration of the bits of English history
that have been sidelined, lost or somehow overlooked. Written in an
engaging, easy-to-read and often humorous style, Tames brings to
life the various colourful characters, famous in their day, who
have now sunk into obscurity, from St Cuthbert and Nicholas
Breakspear (the only English pope) to Octavia Hill and the Marquis
of Granby. Tames also covers such diverse areas as sports, lost
villages, forgotten war heroes and inventors. Did you know, for
example, that Barking was once home to the largest fishing fleet in
the world? Or that coffee houses were once known as ‘penny
universities’? Peppered with quotes and anecdotes, and arranged
into concise sections, this book is ideal for dipping into or
reading from cover to cover.Table of Contents1. Making England
