This is exactly the sort of history book that I love. I could not put it down once I started reading it.

Interesting little known trivia about historical people and events as well as cultural ideals through the ages. Definitely things you won't find in a regular textbook (like women only began wearing panties or "bloomers" in the 1800's or that Cleopatra was really unattractive in real life)!

Astonishing facts! Bizarre photographs! Fascinating and sometimes deeply weird true stories! OK, so maybe you know all the stuff you're supposed to know--that there are teenier things than atoms, that Remembrance of Things Past has something to do with a perfumed cookie, that the Monroe Doctrine means we get to take over small South American Countries whene want to . . . But did you know:
...that in the original story of Goldilocks the bears torture and kill their impolite visitor?
...that Pope Leo XIII appeared in an advertisement for cocaine-laced wine in the 1880's?
...that people didn't eat with forks until the 1700's?
...That the first pediatric guide written in the United States recommended that expectant mothers breastfeed puppies?
...that Cleopatra was an ugly woman?
