Also included: Maybe you want to impress your friends with a wealth of trivia - or maybe you're just fascinated by strange customs and odd traditions!

You'll be disgusted by some of the weird foods covered in the book - amused by Mark Thatcher, lost in the Sahara - captivated by the attempt to conquer the North Pole by balloon - and amazed by the way some Filipinos take their dead relatives out for a walk. We also introduce you to Columbus, the biggest failure ever, and the wonderfully named Ivailo the Cabbage, King of Bulgaria. You may not be able to get a degree in geography or history with these fun facts - degree courses would be a lot more fun if you could! But this book will take you on a trip around the world and through the centuries that is enthralling and never, ever dull. This book will keep you entertained, uncover hidden gems and take you on the journey of a lifetime! Great for increasing your own knowledge, picking an exciting travel destination, or as a gift!
