Short description
This history of Scotland addresses the questions that other texts ignore, such as: was Bannockburn a cake?; how bonnie was Prince Charlie?; and wha's like us? Combining accuracy and humour, this is Scottish history from a different angle.
Long description
All too often, books on Scottish history ignore the central questions about Scotland's past; however, in Scoular Anderson's 1314 and All That these questions, and much, much more, are tackled. Combined with his inimitable drawings and lively text, this is the kind of book that makes you wonder why history was ever boring. This book combines accuracy and humor in a unique way. The first edition of the book sold out in nine months in Scotland, illustrating the growing demand for information on Scotland's past.
