The Wordsworth Dictionary Of British History

The Wordsworth Dictionary of British History (1994) – Norman Stone
As flogged by Crappy Old Books

History buffs, trivia hounds, and dusty shelf dwellers rejoice! This gloriously no-frills dictionary of British history from 1994, penned by the ever-sardonic Norman Stone, is your passport to centuries of monarchs, mutinies, and monumental mishaps. From Anglo-Saxons to the Suez Crisis, this chunky reference tome delivers bite-sized entries that are surprisingly informative, occasionally opinionated, and always charmingly dated.

No glossy pictures. No QR codes. Just pure, pre-internet, analog knowledge—like granddad used to argue with. Perfect for pub quizzes, passive-aggressive bookshelf flexing, or simply pretending you knew who Walpole was before the Netflix doc.

Crisp pages? Probably not. But history this dry never felt so satisfying.

Very good condition, like new.
