About this listen

 Past generations of English schoolchildren knew all about the stories that livened up their country's history. Burnt cakes, turbulent priests, red-hot pokers up the backside: these tales might not all have been strictly true, but they added a richness to the story of England that sticks in the mind, making it more than just the biography of a patch of land. In The England of Our Dreams, Jon David tries to recapture this spirit. With the books his parents read as children in front of him for inspiration, he offers a guided tour of English history's great landmarks - from a bald Italian visiting Kent in 55 BC, to the accession of Elizabeth II in 1952. Along the way he points to a few of history's more dubious characters, and tells a few stories that, if they aren't true, ought to be.

Jon David has also published The Bible: A Student's Guide and Be Happy! (With Hellenistic Philosophy). Europe Great Britain England
