There is a young fellow named Mick

Who’s adapted the old limerick

To cover, with mirth

The whole history of Earth

And what made its characters tick.

These 100 lively and humorous limericks take us back to before the beginning of time itself, to the Big Bang, to the present day. Covering everyone’s favourite history lessons (and some surprising ones too!), humourist and puzzle guru Mick Twister has cleverly raided the tomes of the past, picked at the bones of the world’s greatest figures, moments and events, and condensed the most complex of human activities into short and hilarious poems to make you chuckle.
