In Unruly, David Mitchell explores how early England’s monarchs, while acting as feared rulers firmly guiding their subjects’ destinies, were in reality a bunch of lucky bastards who were mostly as silly and weird in real life as they appear today in their portraits.

Unparalleled Brilliance

It’s is rare to come across an author, a reader, and a book that is both scholarly, philosophical, and insanely entertaining. David Mitchell’s sense of humor and comedic talent alone would earn this book 5 stars. But the depth in its research and the conclusions drawn are equally impressive. It’s almost intimidating to discover that great feats of writing, research and performance are here in our midst. But how exciting to know that we live among great people who can teach us the true history of English royalty, the majestic use of the English language and the value of a fart joke all in one book.
