From Public Enemies to St Paul’s Cathedral, every one’s fascination with lists will be satisfied once they’ve digested the 366 included in this attractive, chunky book.
Filled with eye-openingly absurd facts, lies, half-truths, thoughts, suggestions and musings with more footnotes than an orchestra of millipedes, this work features lists that include: "Possessors of Notable Moustaches", "What MI5 Look For When Recruiting", "Basic Requirements for Being A Pirate Captain", and "Animal Breakouts".

Philip Ardagh, whose very first Grubtown Tale won him the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, is author of numerous books including the award-winning Eddie Dickens adventures, which have been translated into over 30 languages.
He wrote BBC Radio’s first truly interactive radio drama, collaborated with Sir Paul McCartney on his first children’s book and is a ‘regularly irregular’ reviewer of children’s books for the Guardian. Married with a son, he divides his time between Tunbridge Wells and Grubtown, where he cultivates his impressive beard.
