Product Description
Hans Christian Asbosen is back with more wickedly witty tales of ASBO England. Meet King Harold and William the Conqueror, who sorted their differences over a wet bank holiday weekend on the pier at Hastings. Read of Henry VIII and his six wives - Katherine of Argos, Anne of Slag, Catherine the Strict, Anne of Summers, Svetlana of Moscow and Babs of Windsor. And meet Henry the Sly, responsible for hiding a copy of "Norse Sluts" inside the "Doomsday Book". Discover how Francis Drake thrashed the Spanish Armada after he'd finished with a Plymouth ho...All of these tales and many more are retold by Asbosen in his unique way for the twenty-first century. Truly hilarious, "Robin the Hoodie" is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud at the wickedly warped tales - definitely different to those you were taught at school. These tales of blood, swears and teeth are sure to bring history to life for a whole new generation.

A mate of mine loaned me her copy of Asbo Fairy Tales (by the same guy) - thought it was funny, clever - loved it, and wasn't dissappointed with Robin the Hoodie which I bought soon after. Funny retake on history, the boring stuff from school wrapped in modern satirical, social commentary. The Henry VIII bit had me pissing myself.

It is neither clever nor funny, in places it is just disrespectful both of the people from history and the situations that it is decrying from the present. I am so very glad that I got this as a present rather than having paid for it as it is dross. Don't waste your money on this.
