The Strange Laws Of Old England by Nigel Cawthorne
A fun and fascinating tour of the by-ways of British legal history. Did you know that the law requiring a London taxi driver to carry a bale of hay on top of his cab to feed the horse was in force until 1976? Or that Welshmen are not allowed in the city of Chester after dark? Nigel Cawthorne has unearthed an extraordinary (and sometimes hilarious) collection of the most bizarre and arcane laws that have been enacted over the centuries. Some of which, incredibly are still in force! It is still illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour.
Nigel Cawthorne, is the author of a number of popular history books - including books on Pirates and Witches, and a biography of Alexander the Great. His highly successful series, Sex Lives of is still going strong, with the re-issue of Sex Lives of the Hollywood Goddesses.
