1966 and All That

Publisher and industry reviews

Jacket review

"'Hilarious' The Sunday Times 'Side-splitting' Daily Telegraph 'Craig Brown is the business' Independent 'Craig Brown's 1966 and All That is a fabulous spoof history of modern Britain. Inspired by its irreverent predecessor 1066 and All That, which was published in 1930, it begins with the First World War and ends with the Millennium Dome. It is effortlessly brilliant, eminently quotable and very much 'A Good Thing'... Like the best satirists, Brown skewers our pretensions, ridicules our foibles and holds a mirror up to our times...1966 and All That is a worthy successor to 1066 and should be required reading in every school across the land.' Sebastian Shakespeare, Tatler * 'Craig Brown is one of the funniest writers in Britain - wise, clever, hilarious and a national treasure.' - Helen Fielding, author of Bridget Jones's Diary * 'Craig Brown is Britain's greatest parodist... This weird and wonderful book has more common sense in it than most dutiful histories.' - John Mortimer, Mail on Sunday * 'A work of comic brilliance... disconcertingly like my GCSE History course.' - Ben Schott * 'The wittiest writer in Britain today.' - Stephen Fry"
