Items related to English History: Strange but True
Synopsis
One of Henry VII’s most prized possessions was the preserved leg of St. George. In February, 1789, George III pursued a bestselling lady novelist in a high-speed chase through Kew Gardens. When Henry IV’s tomb was opened, his beard was found to be "thick and matted, and of a deep russet colour." This book contains hundreds of "strange but true" facts and anecdotes about English history. Arranged into a miniature history of England, and with bizarre and hilarious true tales for every era, it will surprise and delight readers everywhere.
