History Of The World In 100 Limericks

There is a young fellow named Mick/ Who's adapted the old limerick/ To cover, with mirth/ The whole history of Earth/ And what made its characters tick. From a geezer called Caesar to the advent of the World Wide Web, this is the funniest way to learn about the past. Henry VIII, Mary Wollstonecraft, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela and Alan Turing all get the limerick treatment along with events such as the Boston Tea Party, the Berlin Wall's rise and fall and the Watergate scandal.
