Who had birds called Death, Wigs and Spinach? How do you spell the
noise of a door slamming? Whose working title was The Chronic
Argonauts? Henry Eliot - author, editor and insatiable bookworm -
has ransacked the libraries and archives of world literature,
compiling hundreds of bookish lists. This eclectic gallimaufry
showcases his favourites: we witness the tragic ends of the Ancient
Greek tragedians, learn the name of George Orwell's pet cockerel
and rummage through Joan Didion's travelling bag; we consider the
history of literary fart jokes, orbit the Shakespearean moons of
Uranus and meet several pigs with wings. From the sublime to the
ridiculous - and everything in between - Eliot's lists,
recommendations and nuggets of trivia will delight, inspire and
surprise anyone who loves reading. Beautifully presented with
supplementary maps and illustrations, Henry Eliot's Book of Bookish
Lists is the essential gift for book-lovers.
