The Industrial Revolution gets the John Farman treatment! This is a title in the collectable history series: funny, short and accessible. John Farman who began with his "Bloody History", speaks directly to his reader with appropriate comments from the editor.
John Farman attended Harrow Art School followed by the Royal College of Art. After completing his Masters degree he worked in the advertising industry until his departure to become a full-time writer and illustrator. He is the author of several children's books, including The Very Bloody History of Britain (without the boring bits), The Very Bloody History of London, C.R.A.P. (A Collection of Rotten Adult Principles) and Jesus: The Teenage Years. He lives in London.
Although this was a very fast read I found it so helpful as a quick reminder now and then for information that I needed for a book I was writing. Not only is it very amusing and entertaining in its approach it was very helpful and most importantly accurate!
