I was trying to write a review yesterday but it wasn't coming out very well!

 

I don't want to put you off (and it's quite a thin book so hopefully I won't) but I think I might have enjoyed it more if I'd read it when I was 16.

 

I say this for two reasons - 1. the humour is rather 'schoolboy' in style and also a bit dated now (the book was first published in 1930) and 2. my memory for school history is not sufficient for me to have enjoyed some of the references - and history was my favourite subject at school!

 

I have to say I was pretty disappointed with it. It had some gems but for me, they were few and far between and I'd probably only rate it 5/10.

 

(Sorry!)
