Chopper England is a book that brings together fascinating historical sketches about some of the most legendary, violent and revolutionary figures in England's history. Did Robin Hood really exist? Why did Queen Elizabeth keep a pirate at court? Were the kings of the Stuart dynasty cursed? Why is the nineteenth century called the Victorian era? The multiple wives of Henry VIII, the "bloody" reign of his daughter Mary Tudor, the celebration of the life of Merry King Charles II and the "golden age" of Queen Victoria are not all the events that left their indelible mark on the cultural image of the archipelago.
The ardent heroes and desperate dreamers in Natalia Basovskaya's narrative come to life on the book pages and shatter the stereotype of the "prim" Englishman.
