Product Description

Review

'Bit rusty on the old Brit history? Feel like a thicko when it comes to talking about the past? Need to swot up for the pub quiz? Then this is the book for you, an easily digestible way to sounding clever.' --Fresh Direction, October 08 issue

'Claiming there are only 150 key things you really need to know that have shaped in the story of Britain, this book delivers them in easy to swallow, bite-sized chunks.' --Best of British, November 2008

After some painstaking and painful fact pruning Judy's resulting narrative is refreshingly concise and date-linked. --The Lady, November 2008

Review

Judy Parkinson's topically titled Remember Remember (The Fifth of November), offers a potted history of Britain to digest along with the toffee apples.

5.0 out of 5 stars History in Bite-Sized chunks, 21 Oct 2008

Lulu J - See all my reviews

This review is from: Remember, Remember (The Fifth of November): The History of Britain in Bite-Sized Chunks (Hardcover)

What a great, fun and manageable way to remember the most salient points of British history that we've all forgotten from school. It takes all the boring bits out and covers history from Roman Britain to the second world war. It's easy to dip in and out of and the perfect accompaniment to the brilliant I Before E that I bought last year. This book makes history fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth getting!, 19 Jan 2009

Tara-Jane B "Tara91" (Ipswich, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Remember, Remember (The Fifth of November): The History of Britain in Bite-Sized Chunks (Hardcover)

I was really impressed with this book. It's nice and easy to read and covers the important parts of History worth knowing about. I was very impressed when I saw it included events like the Amritsar Massacre, although not something that is widely known, it shows the important turning point in the Indians attitude towards the British Raj - something which people should come to know about! Definitely worth getting as it's easy to dip in and out of!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant bit of History, 19 Jan 2009

TV Addict Amy - See all my reviews

This review is from: Remember, Remember (The Fifth of November): The History of Britain in Bite-Sized Chunks (Hardcover)

I'm hoping to go to University in September to study History, and i wanted a book that would cover British history (as that is my particular interest) yet i did not want a history book that would take me ages to read. I'm very glad i found this book, it covers everything right from the Roman era to WW2. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who has a keen interest in British history. It is a quick read but very informative at the same time.

Hi,
The title Remember Remember is a little bit misleading, as I thought it was going to be a book of history mnemonics. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but why the American spelling!?
This book is a great concept, and enjoyable to pick up and read. However as a book on Britian, the spelling of words with a 'z' instead of an 's' is quite annoying.

Go this for mum as an extra last xmas. She loved it and has enjoyed revising ;o). Nice looking book too, makes a decent stocking filler
