Unruly By David Mitchell

Join us for an engaging book club meeting as we delve into David Mitchell's "Unruly: A History of England's Kings and Queens". This #1 Sunday Times bestseller offers a witty and irreverent journey through England's monarchy, from the mythical King Arthur to Elizabeth I. Mitchell, an award-winning comedian and actor, presents the monarchs not as revered figures but as individuals with quirks and flaws, making history both accessible and entertaining.

Described as "part Horrible Histories, part jolly romp," "Unruly" combines sharp humor with historical insight, challenging traditional narratives and prompting readers to reconsider their perceptions of England's royal past.

Whether you're a history enthusiast or new to the subject, this discussion promises to be both enlightening and entertaining.

Our meeting is a little later in the month, but I know everyone is super busy, so we can just tackle the first half of the book in April and maybe, if we like it come back to it in another months meeting. Don't feel obliged to only read half if you're enjoying it though!
