Publisher's Summary

This second collection of essays from actor and author Tim Dalgleish is packed full of diverse literary and historical essays including pieces on George Orwell, his poetry, being taught by Aldous Huxley, living in Paris and his ability to quietly read, on family outings in the car, whilst in the company of two guinea pigs, a cat, a baby, rugs, holiday paraphernalia, and a poorly goat.

There are essays on Gavrilo Princep, the teenager who started World War I, why the Dark Ages were so dark, the Jungian psychology behind hoaxing, why Thomas Paine was "the greatest Englishman ever" and how he influenced the American and French Revolutions, an in-depth look at the forgotten Kingdom of Alt Clut, the connection between Jimmy Cagney and Jean Paul Belmondo, the dubious role of Jacob Gens in the Vilna Ghetto during World War II, how Ian Fleming was involved in one of the greatest military operations of that war, Mahatma Gandhi, Oscar Wilde, George Washington, Bram Stoker, WB Yeats, the death of Tony Benn, the Ku Klux Klan, and much more.
