Description
The Shortest History of England By James Hawes. In 1944, on her way to school in Cricklewood, my mother heard a V-1 cut out above her. She threw herself flat on the pavement. Some twitch in the Nazi gyroscope decided that glass and rubble would rain down all around her, but that she would live to tell the tale. My sons have heard it from her. So with luck, in 2094, one or other of them will be able to tell his grandchildren that he knows what it felt like to dodge a V-1 in London in 1944, because their great-great-grandmother told him. A century and a half, hurdled by a family story. Try it with your own. Seven long generations like that – a short queue at the check-in to eternity, the old and the young holding hands – and we are back at the Battle of Hastings. Our past whispers in our ears, whether we hear it or not, and makes us what we are. The Shortest History of England By James Hawes
And given the state of England today, we’d better get to know ourselves a bit better. So where to begin? Well, we know almost to the hour when England emerged from archaeology, and entered history.
