Romans! Madrigals! The Dark Ages! Evolutions! Trumpets! The Oranges of The First World War!

All of this (except trumpets) and more is covered in this de?nitive, illustrated, easy-clean history of all world history so far, written by the twenty-?rst century's leading historian, philosopher and thought-thinker, Philomena Cunk.

Focusing on the inventions, art and brainboxes that made the modern world the unbearable place it is today, The World According to Cunk is the history book to end all history books. From the birth of the ?rst baby caveman to the invention of the poo emoji. Some say history is written by the Victors. But they're wrong - it's written by the Philomenas. Well, a Philomena. The one on the cover. Yes, her, from TikTok

Philomena Cunk is a journalist, historian and hot-taker who has presented TV shows on everything from time and feminism to Shakespeare and Britain, and really should get round to doing a podcast while they're still a thing. She asks the big questions other journalists are, for some reason, afraid to, like ""How important are the words in Shakespeare's plays?"", 'Why do we cry when it's the onions getting hurt?' and ""What is clocks?""
