This is a "factual work within a fictional universe" type piece, representing one of the many textbooks issued to Twilight Sparkle's students at the School of Friendship. It covers a host of subjects, such as science and technology, history, fashion, culture, cuisine and etiquette, and is geared both towards native Equestrians - expanding what they already know - and visitors from foreign lands, or could even serve as a useful primer for visitors from across the Multiverse! Written by Twilight with contributions from all her friends, it's sure to be a useful tool for just about anyone in Equestria.
Enjoyed it, mate! Haven't read a Fic where I could actually learn something, besides this one ! Unless, learning about a fetish I never knew I had counts~
Well written, though my background in history and literature makes it hard to read it as a story and not one of my academic sources. Compared to actual history it's not written at the level I expect; the narrative style is less professional than I'm used to. But this doesn't take away from the quality of the writing itself. Not a bad start.

Well, thank you! As for the reading like an academic text... well, it's kind of supposed to :D though as for not being written to the academic standard you're used to, I was trying to channel the way Celestia might write it. Have you any suggestions on how it might be improved?
Being a history nut, I enjoyed this thoroughly. I have also done my little head-canon history. Its rather enjoyable. can’t wait to see another one.
