Queen Elizabeth's Wooden Teeth focuses on the erroneous facts that continue to distort the annals of world history.
To counter all those fabricated facts you have learnt through the years, here is a guide to the truth behind the myths, including: Sir Walter Raleigh did not bring the potato nor tobacco back from the New World; Abraham Lincoln did not write the Gettysburg Address on the back of an envelope; King Ethelred the Unready was not unprepared; St George was not English; and of course Queen Elizabeth did not have wooden teeth!
Written with wit and fascinating insight, and covering numerous subjects from royalty to religion, saints to statesmen, inventors to explorers, Queen Elizabeth's Wooden Teeth is guaranteed to astonish and inform, amuse and entertain.
