Bøker i The Peasants' Revolting-serien

The facts may be quirky but they are all carefully researched. The stories show humanity at its best and its worst, at its funniest and most tragic. The anecdotes are linked by quotations that provoke thinking about universal truths.

A light-hearted and often humorous romp through the centuries, packed full of revolting acts and acts of revolt, revealing how ordinary folk - from nasty Normans to present-day lawbreakers - have left an extraordinary trail of criminality behind them.
