Why is Italy called Italy? How old is curry? How fast was the medieval Chinese post system? How do we know how people sounded in the past? Who invented maths?

Responding to fifty genuine questions from the public, Greg Jenner takes you on an entertaining tour through history from the Stone Age to the Swinging Sixties, revealing the best and most surprising stories, facts and historical characters from the past. From ancient joke books, African empires and the invention of meringues, to mummies, mirrors and menstrual pads—Ask A Historian is a deliciously amusing and informative smorgasbord of historical curiosities.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Jenner uses all the questions you never dared to ask about history as an excellent excuse to rummage around in some funny, fascinating, and downright peculiar corners of the past. Every page contains delights, and you will be illuminated and entertained in equal measure." (Lindsey Fitzharris, author of The Butchering Art)

"If history informs our future, Greg Jenner is one of the best informants out there. He is a natural story-teller, conveying complex ideas and events with pep, verve, and wit. For anyone who regularly asks the question 'Why?', this book is for you." (Susie Dent, author of Word Perfect)

I liked many of the questions and answers and the narration really conveyed the author's enthusiasm of the subject. One remark - some of the questions were very much based in UK history so if one is unfamiliar with the historical background one might not understand what this is about. ... other than that a very entertaining and informative book

Very interesting historical bits

I’m really happy that Greg Jenner did the reading - such a nice voice and so funny. I’m a stickler for citations so I really appreciate that. I really do hope he’ll do more and more of these even though I know it’s hard work. I will buy every single one. Thanks Greg Jenner!

I hope he does another volume (or ten)!

Greg Jenner is an excellent historian and I have enjoyed every one of his books. Even when I thought I had no interest in the subject he shows it in a way I end up finding fascinating.

Amazing book

Even though many of the questions in this book are a bit narrow or more like a joke, Greg manages to teach so much history! And I laughed a lot!

Funny and informative at the same time

I never laughed so much during a history book. It keeps you engaged you don't want to "put it down"

best bonus content ever!

If you like history that goes down rabbit holes and you prefer British accents, you’ll love this. You can feel the scholarly backbone while laughing at the humor. Would appreciate more references to how we know what we know, but otherwise a gem. Bonus content hugely entertaining and informative.

Well worth a listen

This is a highly amusing and very informative book. There is an added extra in the brilliantly funny bonus chapter at the end of the audio book. I love listening to Greg Jenner read his books, host his marvellous podcast, and am just an all-round fan! A brilliant way to get kids interested in hisar.

History is always entertaining with Greg Jenner!

I enjoy informational books and this one held my attention through to me end. I also liked the reader's voice, which is important in an audio book.
