What do you give the man who knows everything? 101 things he probably doesn't know about Britain.
How did a single ear drag Britain into a nine-year war? Why do grown adults chase a wheel of cheese down a ridiculously steep hill? And why did a British officer take an umbrella into battle at Arnhem?
Britain has always been a bit bonkers.
Bonkers Britain is packed with 101 short, true stories about our dafteststrangest traditions, daftest decisions and most unlikely heroes. It's British history with the ridiculous bits left in and a good dose of British wit.
Open it anywhere. Read a story while you're on the loo. Come out with a fact nobody at the pub will believe.
It's a the perfect funny gift for the dad, husband, brother or bloke who's impossible to buy for, especially if he claims he doesn't read. A great present for birthdays, Father's Day and Christmas, or simply for keeping by the throne.
Give him something to laugh about on the loo and talk about when he comes out.
