Les merEverything you ever wanted to know about beer but were too busy drinking it to ask. The Little Book of Beer is a light-hearted, irreverent but also informative book that celebrates beer culture. The book should be something that enlightens the reader while also leaving them foaming (pun intended) at the month at the mere thought of going for a pint. It will show how beer is one of the great unifiers, a drink almost as old as time, and it is something that brings people together and makes them happy. While it celebrates how beer has influenced popular culture and vice versa, it avoids falling into obvious traps of beer snobbery or elitism.

Les merSeeing the Lionesses lift the EURO 2022 trophy was not only amazing to witness as an England fan, it meant so much more that. Not so long ago, between 1921 and 1970 the FA actually banned women from playing football on any FA-affiliated pitch, saying "the game of football is quite unsuitable for females and ought not to be encouraged". Women missed out on generations worth of talent and basically had to reset the clock from 1970, even then though it wasn''t a smooth ride. The first professional women''s league in England wasn''t introduced until 2018! FOOTBALL BIOGRAPHIES FOR KIDS - WRITTEN BY PEOPLE WITH KIDS, FOR KIDS.
