1066 and All That by W. C. Sellar (1898 - 1951) and Robert Julian Yeatman (1897 - 1968)

A memorable history of England, comprising all the parts you can remember, including 103 good things, 5 bad kings and 2 genuine dates. Book beloved by British schoolchildren everywhere, and hated by their history teachers, it gives a tongue-in-cheek "potted history" in an amusing format. It was written by two contributors to Punch magazine. - Summary by LynneT
