'CAN WE ALL AGREE THAT WE WANT SHALINA TO BE OUR HISTORY TEACHER?'
Anita Rani

'SHALINA PATEL IS THE HISTORY TEACHER I WISH I HAD AT SCHOOL'
Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland

'GO AND BUY THIS BOOK - SHALINA IS AN EXTRAORDINARY TEACHER AND MAKES EVERY SUBJECT FASCINATING'

Bella Mackie, author of How to Kill Your Family



Taking the reader on a tour through history, from the Romans to the Second World War via Tudor courts, medieval castles and more, this hugely entertaining debut from an award-winning history teacher explores a variety of historical topics in a thoughtful and engaging way. Written in an approachable and accessible style, Shalina Patel will be your guide on an eye-opening and jaw-dropping journey back in time.

The History Lessons invites readers to reclaim our history education, and is a treat for curious minds keen to look beyond the usual narratives. This is a book that celebrates stories and people that may be less familiar - but no less remarkable or fascinating.
