Philip Ardagh's book of absolutely useless lists for absolutely every day of the year by Philip Ardagh
Expect the unexpected in this ridiculously named, reassuringly chunky book, jam-packed full of eye-openingly absurd facts, lies, half-truths, thoughts, suggestions and musings with more footnotes than an orchestra of millipedes. Lists include: "Possessors of Notable Moustaches (Real or Otherwise)", "What MI5 Look For When Recruiting", "Basic Requirements for Being A Pirate Captain", "Animal Breakouts" and "10 Things I Think I Know About the Moon Without Looking Them Up (Or Up at It)". From the best-selling author of Awful End.
Described as 'a national treasure' by the Independent and as 'one of life's fact-finders' by the Scotsman, Philip Ardagh has written books on subjects ranging from archaeology to space flight, and has still found time to write the bestselling Eddie Dickens children's novels, now translated into over thirty languages, to review children's books for the Guardian ('on a regularly irregular basis') and to appear at events and festivals around the world. He won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize in 2009. He is married with one son.
