Didn't Cleopatra look like Elizabeth Taylor?
Didn't Shakespeare look like Shakespeare?
Doesn't Mazzini deserve to have a biscuit named after him?
Did Napoleon pass his French exam?
Did Nelson really see no ships?
Van Gogh…or Van Gogh ?
And can you spot Hitchs cameo appearance this time?
Potted Portraits is an enjoyable saunter through a portrait gallery of varied personalities from History; revered or reviled, loved or loathed, each led a remarkable life that continues to be of interest today. In a series of light verse biographies which delight in testing the limits of tolerance with their rhymes, puns and general linguistic convolutions, discover a few new things about some familiar characters; or reacquaint yourself with some familiar stories in a new way. Included are some perhaps rather less well-known figures, though no less deserving of attention and rewarding to read about. If you want a little light didacticism, with the reasonable chance of a smile – even a laugh – this is the book for you!
