1,000 Years of Annoying the French
1,000 Years of Annoying the French is light-hearted – but impeccably researched. It’s for anyone who is interested in what really happened to Joan of Arc; in why America would be l'Amérique if the French hadn't threatened a cow; and why we owe the signing of the Entente Cordiale to Parisian ladies of the night. By the author of the Merde series, which recently surpassed sales of 2 million copies worldwide, this has been at the top of the Sunday Times best-seller list in the UK in its first weeks since publication.
