All About History Annual 2023

From myths and legends to some of the people who fought for equal rights and helped change the world we live in today, the All About History Annual brings you some of the most daring and fascinating stories of the past to life. It’s great to bring you a new selection of the best history writing from All About History magazine once again and this year we have another fantastic selection of tales to share. For instance, you can learn about Empress Matilda, who perhaps should have been the first queen of England, but was denied the throne that was promised to her. Or perhaps you might like to know more about the Gods of Ancient Greece and where some of them actually came from (most of them weren’t original creations). As always, we have a wide selection of history to dig into, including the Pirates who founded their own nation in the Caribbean, the man who created the SAS during WWII, and the history of alchemy and why it’s not the crackpot science you might think it is (although, it certainly doesn’t create gold or the elixir of eternal life).
