In the mid-19th century, Edward Lear published The Book of Nonsense, a collection of limericks. Thanks to him, limericks, which undoubtedly existed before him, gained their worldwide popularity. Limericks continue to be written today, and this book is an example of that. The difference between this book is that the limericks here are not simple, but historical. The author, in a humorous form, rethinks world history, or rather, its key (and sometimes little-known) moments. If you wish, you can learn history from this book, because the events described here are quite real. We just kindly ask: do not use the book to prepare for a history exam. The book has no age (except natural), gender or racial restrictions.
