Stuff and Nonsense: Kings and Queens

Ian Baillie's Stuff & Nonsense is an irreverent look at English kings and queens in comic verse. If you want to know who came where and when in our list of Royals this is a fun way to do it. Did you know that James II's brain is preserved in a bronze urn in Paris? Who was Hugh Despenser and what was his sorry and brutal end?It took a long time for Royals to settle their differences without resorting to the sword or the executioner's axe. And a lot of strife was down to religion. Presented in a modern style, the book comes supplied with references and notes which help the reader solidify each historical figure with fact and anecdote.For children, adults and students of history alike, Stuff & Nonsense is a light-hearted way to learn what stirred in the often dark heart of the realm.
