In the course of which it's also about the Bar-Kokhba revolt of 136AD, the potato-related causes of the French Revolution, a Durham coal-owner's predilection for Hannahs, the British Camel Corps, the Gr?msv?tn Volcano, George Washington, the fighting Belgian of Dundee and the execution of Queen Elizabeth's doctor. You will not be bored.
