The author reserves the Unequivocal Right of all Historians to mislead, misinterpret, misspell and (in cases of jokes) misfire, and would fully expect the Reader to do the same, given the opportunity. 2066 And All That is the new sequel to Seller & Yeatman's classic parody, 1066 And All That, covering the period from the end of WWI to the rise and fall of Tony Blah and the Blah Era. In the spirit of the original to which it pays homage, it's a consistently hilarious and inventive take on the cliches and muddles of the 20th century history. The text is illustrated by witty and charming line drawings, ranging from a portrayal of Mussolini, the 'charming but ill' Duce, to the arrival of the Coronation Chicken at Portsmouth in 1953. AUTHOR: Ben Yarde-Buller divides his time equally between admitting his near-total ignorance of anything important and pretending to be well-informed. He lives (and occasionally works) in Devon. Sophie Duncan also lives in Devon, where she is rarely happier than when forced to produce hundreds of pictures at short notice because Ben has left the original versions on the train, on top of a cupboard etc. SELLING POINTS: *The original Seller and Yeatman book has sold over a million copies *A style of parody that is enduringly popular ILLUSTRATIONS b/w drawings throughout
