Everybody knows that Oliver Cromwell gave King Charles I the chop and clobbered the Cavaliers with his Roundheads, but in this book readers will discover all the fascinating facts that they didn't know, such as how Oliver canceled Christmas and banned swearing, and that he was actually hanged and beheaded - after he had already died! It offers everything you ever wanted to know about the man with the warts.
