The book takes a humorous and poetic approach to recount the histories of the major kings of England, blending facts with light-hearted commentary on their reigns and personalities. It likely appeals to readers interested in a whimsical yet informative overview of English monarchy, particularly from a unique cultural perspective. The opening of the work introduces the author's intent to blend humor and history, describing the characteristics of kings and how they reflected the societal norms of their time. Chouinard employs an engaging narrative style, presenting the first few rulers of England such as Egbert and Alfred the Great, while playfully highlighting their virtues and vices. He sets a tone of levity by addressing both the grandeur and the failings of these rulers, suggesting that despite their flaws, they were still admired figures contributing to the fabric of English history. The work aims to make the history of England's monarchy accessible and entertaining, particularly for those familiar with both English and French cultures.
