'Fabulously smart and entertaining . . . If virtue-signalling
wokery drives you as nuts as it drives me, you will love it' Piers
Morgan 'Required reading for anyone needing an antidote to the mass
hysteria of humanity's latest religion' Entertainment Focus After
the success of her debut Woke: A Guide to Social Justice, radical
slam poet and intersectional feminist Titania McGrath has turned
her talents to the realm of children's non-fiction. Aimed at
activists from the age of six months to six years, Titania's book
will help cultivate a new progressive generation. In a series of
groundbreaking and poignant chapters, she will take you on a
journey with some of the most inspiring individuals in history,
such as Emmeline Pankhurst, Meghan Markle, Nelson Mandela, Hillary
Clinton and Joseph Stalin. Praise for Woke: 'Beautiful classic
satire' Ricky Gervais 'The latest genius twist in Britain's long
tradition of satirical spoof' Daily Express 'Titania McGrath
mercilessly satirises the Left's online umbrage brigade, the
permanently offended, those who have taken on the role of policing
thoughts and words to the point of absurdity' The Herald
'Hilarious' Evening Standard 'Hilarious' Spectator 'Hilarious' The
Times 'Utterly unfunny' Peter Hitchens
'This book is brilliant. Utterly, utterly brilliant. Apart from the
epilogue, which is idiotic' Jeremy Clarkson 'F*cking brilliant'
Sarah Knight AN EXHILARATING JOURNEY THROUGH THE MOST CREATIVE AND
CATASTROPHIC F*CK-UPS OF HUMAN HISTORY In the seventy thousand
years that modern human beings have walked this earth, we've come a
long way. Art, science, culture, trade - on the evolutionary food
chain, we're real winners. But, frankly, it's not exactly been
plain sailing, and sometimes - just occasionally - we've managed to
really, truly, quite unbelievably f*ck things up. From Chairman
Mao's Four Pests Campaign, to the American Dustbowl; from the
Austrian army attacking itself one drunken night, to the world's
leading superpower electing a reality TV mogul as President... it's
pretty safe to say that, as a species, we haven't exactly grown
wiser with age. So, next time you think you've really f*cked up,
this book will remind you: it could be so much worse... FURTHER
PRAISE FOR HUMANS: 'Very funny' Mark Watson 'A light-touch history
of moments when humans have got it spectacularly wrong... Both
readable and entertaining' The Telegraph 'Chronicles humanity's
myriad follies down the ages with malicious glee and much wit ... a
rib-tickling page-turner' Business Standard 'A timely, irreverent
gallop through thousands of years of human stupidity' Nicholas
Griffin, Ping-Pong Diplomacy: The Secret History Behind the Game
That Changed the World
