Fun to read. Some really good snarks! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A laugh out loud history of the English in France by one of England's great humorists. *by D***Y on March 18, 2018* A brilliant and hilarious history of the English and the French, and the thousand years from the Battle of Hastings to present day. He confirmed my own attitudes from my experience in France. That is, annoying the French is a lot of fun since it's so easy to annoy them.As an historian, Mr. Clarke is well-educated and quite good at recounting details of the relationship of the English and the French in the droll humor the English are known for. His history is also quite accurate but more, he tells it a series of laugh out loud anecdotes. I enjoyed this book immensely -- partly because of the usually needless foibles of the monarchs and their minions, but mainly because of the wonderful sense of humor about it all that Mr. Clarke provides.This is a very accurate history of the English in France, expertly written by one of England's great humorists. I highly recommend it to anyone who reads history. and enjoys history, but also enjoys laughing at the French. They really are quite a silly bunch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, witty, easy-to-read, enjoyable and informative. *by N***N on January 9, 2014* This is my first Stephen Clark and I really enjoyed it. I am no history major, but what it gave me was a sufficient, fun and easy-to-read introduction into French (and English) history over the past millenium. It also does well at giving some insight into the Dark Ages, feudal life, death, torture, revenge, intrigue and suffering (which seem to have typified those time), the way the aristocracy carried on, war, more war, the Renaissance and Victorian times.Again, I am not here to critically pick it apart like some academic, but what I do think that what is does do is give the lay reader a fun introduction into what is an inordinately large quantum of history without having to grind through vast tomes. Naturally, there is going to be superficiality at time, but that's fine with me. I definitely enjoyed his sense of humour.So, if you want a fun read and want to whizz by and enjoy the last 1000 years of this era (at the expense of the French), then I highly recommend you read this. ## Frequently Bought Together - 1000 Years of Annoying the French [Paperback] [Jan 01, 2012] STEPHEN CLARKE - Talk to the Snail: Ten Commandments for Understanding the French - A Year in the Merde --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/133483706-1000-years-of-annoying-the-french-paperback-jan-01-2012](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/133483706-1000-years-of-annoying-the-french-paperback-jan-01-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
