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.

Genuinely laugh out loud stuff!

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.

Hilarious and entertaining!

I loved this take on world history, it was hilarious! Philomena Cunk is a brilliant narrator, and I just wish her other mockumentaries could be made available. Witty, entertaining, and I loved hearing about her friend Paul.
