  "A fun introduction to English history for those who may find conventional history books dry and tedious... it offers an accessible and enjoyable alternative to more traditional texts." 
  "a delightful blend of history, humor, and art. It provides readers with an entertaining way to learn about England’s past while enjoying the wit and creativity of A. Beckett. Whether you are a history buff or someone looking for a lighthearted approach to learning, this book offers something for everyone." 
  In the third drily hilarious volume of A Comic History Of England, we move forward to the thirteenth century, when a succession of Edwards and Henrys gain the throne and immediately use it to steal everything they can from the population, in order to fund attempts to conquer France (or pay their debts from conquering England). Along the way we get the fabled Black Prince, one of the greatest battles in English history, a queen far more powerful than her king or sons, and a consideration of the manners and condition of the English period up to this point in the history. 
  Covers: 
  Henry The Third, Surnamed Of Winchester. 
  Edward The First, Surnamed Longshanks. 
  Edward The Second, Surnamed Of Caernarvon. 
  Edward The Third. 
  Richard The Second, Surnamed Of Bordeaux. 
  On The Manners, Customs, And Condition Of The People.
