The creator of What Happened Here? London
and Cockney Rhyming Slang, Gwyn Headley,
is immensely knowledgeable about his home
country's history. He takes us from Berkshire to
Yorkshire, dispensing an illuminating, drily
humorous factoid at each of our forty-eight stops.

One side of each card presents part of an antique
map, with a date and colorful target showing
where an event took place. The card's other
side presents a concise, casual overview of the
event itself. This deck is as valuable for its solid
scholarship as it is for its entertainment quotient.
