This Little World With Nandini Das - Chalke History Festival Special Series

Why do we picture Henry VIII when we think of England? Let's explore this misconception together! In my conversation with historian Nandini Das, we delve into her new book, *This Little World*, where she challenges the notion of English isolation. Did you know that England’s identity has been shaped by centuries of migration? From the Syrian princesses to Flemish hat makers, the narrative is rich and complex. This period wasn’t just about kings and queens; it was about ordinary people navigating a world of change.
