Unruly

I found it not just funny but refreshing. Mitchell treats historic royals with the respect they deserve, which is basically none.

A hilarious take on England's monarchs - brilliant. I wish schools would use it to teach history

I have always adored historical reads, and although mostly that’s historical fiction, I also occasionally enjoy a non-fiction read.

Unruly has been described by some as a “Horrible Histories” for adults, and I couldn’t agree more. His often sweary take on the kings and queens throughout British history bring a certain humour to what some may think an unexciting subject.

To me history has always had some brilliantly exciting and unexpected events, and this book certainly doesn’t disappoint in bringing just some of them to the reader.
