About this Item

Paperback. Tiny wear to bottom edge of spine. Has anyone ever taught a robot to juggle? Regarding the French 'delicacy' cuisses de grenouilles: (a) what happens to the rest of the frog and (b) do restaurants take delivery of whole frogs or ready butchered legs? Why did Robinson Crusoe find only one footprint when Friday was two-legged? Why is Humpty Dumpty usually portrayed as an egg, I can find no evidence in the nursery rhyme to support this? This latest volume proves again that the extent of the collective Guardian readership's knowledge of the obscure and arcane is matched only by its curiosity and fascination with the eccentric. The simple act of question and answer has never been more dazzingly entertaining. 218 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
