2066 and all that

An hilarious sequel to 1066 and all that, in its 75th anniversary year. "Anthony Eden's weakness was clear from his thin nasal voice, due mainly to Sinai problems picked up during the Sewers' Crisis (from which he never recovered)." "Thatcher's power waned fast when she left her office, and it passed to her many children, known as Thatcherites." "2066 And all that" is a sequel to Sellar and Yeatman's classic parody, covering the period from the end of WW1 to the present day, offering pointed lampoonery of the more outlandish predictions made about our national and global future.

Brought out by Methuen to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the original, "2066 And all that" is very much in the spirit of Sellar and Yeatman's masterpiece.

It is a consistently hilarious and inventive take on the cliches and muddles of 20th century history as most people remember it.

The text is illustrated by line drawings, depicting such luminaries as Mayfly Keynes the economist and pivotal events like the Sewers' "Crisis" and the arrival of the "Coronation Chicken at Portsmouth" in 1953.

From the publisher of the original, which has sold over four million copies since publication.It covers all recent history up to and beyond Blair and Bush. And coincides with the publication of Methuen's 75th anniversary edition of the original.
