Acerca de esta escucha

From the Norman Invasion in 1066 to the eve of the First World War, Stick a Flag in It is a thousand-year jocular journey through the history of Britain and its global empire.

The British people have always been eccentric, occasionally ingenious and, sure, sometimes unhinged - from mad monarchs to mass-murdering lepers. Here, Arran Lomas shows us how they harnessed those traits to forge the British nation, and indeed the world, we know today. Follow history’s greatest adventurers from the swashbuckling waters of the Caribbean to the vast white wasteland of the Antarctic wilderness, like the British spy who infiltrated a top-secret Indian brothel and the priest who hid inside a wall but forgot to bring a packed lunch. At the very least you’ll discover Henry VIII’s favorite a*se-wipe, whether the flying alchemist ever made it from Scotland to France, and the connection between Victorian coffee houses and dildos.

Forget what you were taught in school - this is history like you’ve never heard it before, full of captivating historical quirks that will make you laugh out loud and scratch your head in disbelief.

I love this audiobook!

Arran Lomas makes learning about British history a absolute joy. He inserts humor into the story and he also has a great narrators voice and a nice moustache. This is an awesome listen.

Some Humanity Behind the History

A lot of interesting stories about the people whose names are so familiar and many I’ve never heard of. One assumes much of it is true.

Lovely work good sir.

found this book due to Aaron's great YouTube channel that I suggest to everybody - Thoughty2. I'd gotten the book on audible soon after it's release, but only recently got around to listening to it. I finished it in no time and learned so much interesting history by a thoughtful narrative. really great book and love what you are doing Aaron. Keep it up!

Wonderfully entertaining and informative.

I was familiar with the author via his history channel on Youtube, and he brings the same wit, cheekiness, and enjoyment to this enjoyable history of England.

Humorous Histories

Loved the book! Learned a lot about British history that I didn't know. I think the funny way it is presented will help me remember it.

I did not appreciate the attacks on Christians for cheap laughs. You are better than that Arran.

Great stories, entertainingly told.

Enjoyable from the first word until the last. A brilliant reminder that the past is just as fascinating at the present.
