In 1994, John Skepper retired from a "most enjoyable" career in teaching, which culminated in the headship of Wheatley Hills Middle School in Doncaster. Since then - and having published his first collections of poems, aptly titled Are You sure You Don't Like Reading Poetry? - John has written this delightful poetic indulgence that sets out to map the history of England from ancient times right up to the modern day.
The author's first collection of poetry explored topics both humorous and serious including life, love, war and loss, with some being widely inspirational and some deeply personal. This second folio is a more factual affair, designed not only to assist the reader in learning about our country's history, but also to make doing so somewhat of a joyous and entertaining process.
