Prim England - a book that contains fascinating historical sketches about the most legendary, cruel and revolutionary personalities in the history of England. Did Robin Hood really exist? Why did Queen Elizabeth keep a pirate at court? Were the Stuart dynasty kings cursed? Why is the 19th century called the Victorian era? The numerous wives of Henry VIII, the "bloody" reign of his daughter - Mary Tudor, the celebration of the life of the "Merry" King Charles II and the "golden age" of Queen Victoria - are not all events that left their indelible mark on the cultural appearance of the archipelago. The ardent heroes and desperate dreamers in the narrative of Natalia Basovskaya come to life on the book pages and smash to smithereens the stereotype of the "prim" Englishman.
