Great Tales from English History Omnibus

November 12, 2007
Great Tales from English History Omnibus

A treasury of true stories, about the extraordinary people, knights and knaves, rebels and heroes, queens and commoners, who made Britain great.

From ancient times to the present day, the story of England has been laced with drama, intrigue, courage and passion – a rich and vibrant narrative of heroes and villains, kings and rebels, artists and highwaymen, bishops and scientists. Now, in Great Tales of English History, Robert Lacey captures one hundred of the most pivotal moments: the stories and extraordinary characters who helped shape a nation. This first volume begins in 7150 BC with the life and death of Cheddar Man and ends in 1381 with Wat Tyler and the Peasants’ Revolt. We meet the Greek navigator Pytheus, whose description of the Celts as prettanike (the ‘painted people’) yielded the Latin word Britannici. We witness the Roman victory celebrations of AD 43, where a squadron of elephants was paraded through Colchester. And we visit the New Forest, in 1100, and the mysterious shooting of King William Rufus. Packed with insight, humour and fascinating detail, Robert Lacey brings the stories that made England brilliantly to life. From Ethelred the Unready to Richard the Lionheart, the Venerable Bede to the Black Prince, this is, quite simply, history as history should be told.

The Year 1000 - published in 1999 and co-authored The Year 1000 - published in 1999 and co-authored with Danny Danziger. 
Ever wondered what life was like at the turn of the first millennium? How did monks communicate if they were not allowed to speak? What punishments could the law impose without stone and iron prisons in which to lock up offenders? Why was July called ‘the hungry month’? Why did they grind pigeons’ eggs in mortar? The Year 1000 answers these questions and reveals many more secrets such as the recipe for a medieval form of Viagra and an hallucinogenic treat called ‘crazy bread’. A vivid and surprising portrait of life in England a thousand years ago, The Year 1000 brings this distant world closer than ever before. Robert Lacey teams up with Danny Danziger on this informative Number 1 bestseller that inspired the BBC radio series.
