Special Offer: Buy Your Dan Snow
Tickets Today and Pre-Order The Book for £10
 Dan Snow
will be joining us on 23 November at Bradford Grammar School to talk
about his latest book
On This Day In History, where he brings to life a key
historical event that happened from each day of the year.
On which day was history's shortest war waged and won (in roughly 40
minutes)?
How was Napoleon bested by a group of rabbits in 1807?
Why did a dispute about beer in an Oxford pub lead to over 100 deaths
and 470 years of penance?
Why in 1752 did Britain go to bed on the 2nd September and wake  up on the
14th?
How did a women's march in 1917 set off the Russian Revolution?
In this book Dan Snow shows us how each day offers a different and
unexpected insight into our past and, story by gripping story, this
builds into a vivid, very human history of the world.
You can now book your tickets for this event and pre-order a copy of
On This Day for just £10 (£14.99 RRP). Books will be available to
collect on the night.
