Combining compelling narrative history with helpful chronology, A People's History of Britain tells the story - from the Romans to the present day - of the small northern islands off the coast of Europe which became the world's largest empire. Full of kings, queens and battles and the heroic individuals who created turning points in history, it is packed with anecdotes about British scientists, explorers, soldiers, traders, writers and artists.

The narrative weaves humor and poignant moments, highlighting the importance of community and the struggles faced by Indigenous youth. Through Skippy's eyes, readers explore themes of belonging, resilience, and the search for one's place in the world.
