✦ Synopsis

Tiny Histories is a fond, fun and informative look at the seemingly insignificant coincidences, decisions and tiny moments that triggered major events and changed the course of British history. It might be difficult to believe when watching the news but the world we live in is often shaped not by the whim of governments and the decisions of world leaders but by tiny, apparently trivial events. In many cases, they can have enormous repercussions that mould both the society we live in today and the people we are. This is the fourth book in Dixe's bestselling Tiny series and it makes the perfect gift or self-purchase for history buffs, pub-quiz fans, and trivia-loving mums and dads.
