'History is a bottomless reservoir of all the bonkers, heroic,
awful and weird things we eccentric humans have ever done. We can't
help generating extraordinary stories... Most importantly, like all
the best stories, they are true.' - Dan Snow Have you ever wondered
who the third man on the moon was? Did you know that Dick
Whittington really was the medieval Mayor of London? Why was a
pigeon a hero to the American army? What's the difference between a
dolmen and a barrow? Who were the Wu, Wei and Shu Han? Was Napoleon
really small? Who said 'Pardon me, sir, I didn't mean to' just
before they were executed? When was the oldest known shark attack?
The answers to all these questions and so much more are contained
within this wonderful miscellany of historical facts, figures and
fascinating finds which will enthral, entertain and inform everyone
who loves history and wants to know more about more.
