Story of Down Under: History of Australia in Cartoons: A laugh-Out-Loud Trip Through Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764200301)

History Class Meets Stand-Up Comedy - With Cartoons!
In this hilarious history, Lachalan Lancelot pulls back the curtain on Australia's past-from ancient Aboriginal cultures to bumbling British explorers, corps with attitude, and governors who had no idea what they were doing.

Story of Down Under takes you all the way to Governor Macquarie (a.k.a. the "Father of Australia"), covering the cock-ups, struggles, and surprisingly dramatic stories along the way.

• Short, snappy chapters.
• Caution: Not for those into deep, detailed, and dense historical research.
• Warning: May cause laughter. Probably not suitable for hardcore historians.
• Hand-drawn cartoons.
• Real history, but funnier.
• Designed for teens, and anyone who's ever wondered, "Hmm, how did the British manage to turn this place into a country?".
• Perfect for those who are curious but not keen on thick textbooks.

Whether you're reading on the bus, in class (don't get caught), or on the loo (we won't judge), this book is made to entertain, educate, and make you laugh-snort through the best bits of Aussie history.
