Editing 1066 and All That (section)

==Works inspired by ''1066''==
''1066 and All That'' inspired [[Paul Manning (British writer)|Paul Manning]]'s ''1984 and All That'', dealing with the subsequent history of Britain and the rest of the world up to 1984, and written in the same style, with similar prose, illustrations and tests. ("What caused the [[Wall Street crash]]? Speculate wildly.") The title references [[George Orwell]]'s ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''.

[[Ned Sherrin]] and Neil Shand wrote a sequel ''1956 and All That'',<ref>{{cite book|last=Sherrin|first=Ned|title=1956 And All That|year=1984|publisher=Michael Joseph Ltd|location=London|isbn=978-0718124793|page=144}}</ref> with the subtitle ''a memorable history of England since the war to end all wars (Two)''.

In 2005 [[Craig Brown (satirist)|Craig Brown]] released ''[[1966 and All That (book)|1966 and All That]]'', which copied the book's style (including elements like the end of chapter tests), recounting the remainder of the 20th century. In 2006 the book was [[1966 and All That (radio)|adapted for BBC Radio 4]] in four parts.

[[Richard Armour (poet)|Richard Armour]]'s book ''It All Started With Columbus'' (1953, revised 1961) treats the history of the United States, from 1492 to the presidency of [[John Fitzgerald Kennedy]], in a manner that owes a great deal to Sellar and Yeatman ("[[Ferdinand II of Aragon|Ferdinand]] and [[Isabella I of Castile|Isabella]] refused to believe the world was round, even when [[Christopher Columbus|Columbus]] showed them an [[Egg of Columbus|egg]]"). Acknowledging the debt, Armour dedicated his book to Sellar and Yeatman.

[[Dave Barry]]'s 1989 book ''[[Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States]]'' is another treatment of American history reminiscent of ''1066 and All That'', though Sellar and Yeatman are not acknowledged. ("The first major president to be elected after the [[War of 1812]] was President [[Monroe Doctrine]], who became famous by developing the policy for which he is named.")

[[Matthew Sturgis]]' book ''1992 and All This'' (Macmillan, 1991) is a "humorous look at Europe in preparation for 1992 when Britain officially becomes part of the Continent. Much of the humour focuses on the differences between the British and the Europeans."<ref>{{Cite book|title=1992 and all this|last=Sturgis|first=Matthew|date=1991|publisher=Macmillan|isbn=0333551060|location=London|oclc=28256663}}</ref>
