A History of Humankind (novel)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
A History of Humankind: The Doctor's Official Guide was a book intended to be a Coal Hill history textbook amended by the Twelfth Doctor with his own notes and illustrations on what really happened.
Publisher's summary
Robin Hood was just made up. Queen Elizabeth I never married. And nobody knows what happened to Jack the Ripper. Right?
WRONG. If you want to know the real story of human history, then this book is for you!
The Doctor has corrected this Coal Hill history textbook with his own notes and illustrations. Now packed full of real history (i.e. the kind with Daleks and Silurians and time travel), it tells you everything you need to know about our special planet.
It's history, but perhaps not quite as you know it . . .
