Publisher's Synopsis
If people think the past is dull they haven't seen this book yet. It's witty, anarchic, full of cartoons and jokes. And amidst the fun there are loads of interesting facts about the life and times of Henry VIII and Tudor England. History has never been such fun. Did you know:
Henry got so fat that he had to be lowered on to his horse with a rope and pulley.
Henry passed laws to stop servants and labourers dressing too smartly.
He was nearly killed when he forgot to close his visor while jousting.
