As a kid I'd turn over my hard boiled egg, draw a face of humpty dumpty (and then smash him with a teaspoon). I loved the rhyme, the fat egg, the buttons of his waistcoat popping open, and always red ruddy cheeks. An army of soldiers in the background. On the next page he was history. All this and I never knew the why's and what that made humpty dumpty such a fallen hero.Until this brilliant book! This is an eye opener on trivia, idioms and phrases that are part of our history from the cradle to the pub. There are enough facts here to let you hold court at a dinner party, impress your friends in the pub, or entertain yourself with random outbursts of "wow I never knew that". And no, I'm not telling you anything about that egghead....you have to read that for yourself.
