About this listen

Romans! Madrigals! The Dark Ages! Evolutions! Trumpets! The Oranges of The First World War!

All of this (except trumpets) and more is covered in this definitive, illustrated, easy-clean history of all world history so far, written by the twenty-first century's leading historian, philosopher and thought-thinker, Philomena Cunk.

Focusing on the inventions, art and brainboxes that made the modern world the unbearable place it is today, The World According to Cunk is the history book to end all history books. From the birth of the first baby caveman to the invention of the poo emoji. Some say history is written by the Victors. But they're wrong - it's written by the Philomenas. Well, a Philomena. The one on the cover. Yes, her, from TikTok

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Wasn’t sure about this for many chapters but then couldn’t stop listening. Very silly & utterly hilarious. Very dry British comedy.

Dry, hilarious

Absolutely loved it, delightfully brilliant and the spin on names in historical people is just fantastic

Be careful listening in public due to uncontrollable laughing

As ever with Cunk, there's a touch of genius hidden among the apparently daft character. Too many moments of comical genius to focus on...but the COVID section is the only time the pandemic became hilarious.

Genuinely laugh out loud stuff!
