"Canute began by being a Bad King on the advice of his Courtiers,
who informed him (owing to a misunderstanding of the Rule
Britannia) that the King of England was entitled to sit on the sea
without getting wet." 1066 And All That is a book that has itself
become part of our history. The authors made the claim that "All
the History you can remember is in the Book" and, for most of us,
they were probably right. But it is their own unique interpretation
of events that has made the book a classic; an uproarious satire on
textbook history and our confused recollections of it: "The first
date in English History is 55 BC, in which year Julius Caesar (the
memorable Roman Emperor) landed, like all other successful invaders
of these islands, at Thanet. This was in the Olden Days, when the
Romans were top nation on account of their classical education,
etc."
