Don't you just love these books, I have several of them, so of course, I do know it all now (well, maybe not quite all!) I just can't resist giving them as Birthday and Christmas presents and I have to say everyone I have given them to is as interested in them as I am. Lots of interesting facts you may well have forgotten, or, of course, you may just be surprised at how much you do know.

Lots of things that jog your memory.. and some new stuff you never learned in the first place. Worth the price.

This a great reminder of things I used to know from my school days. The details aren't in depth but they are a good reminder or a start of things to then go on and look them up. Its also a good reference and after reading it I used it a couple of times for the lists it has.

Excellent little book that give info in chapters of different themes such as Music, History, Science, Language, Maths.

It basically gives you 'sound bites' on each topic, in a school book layout kind of way. Some of the information will have you recalling things from school, others will be new, can you remember what a diphthong is? Or what do you remember about William the Conqueror?

Either way, it's still interesting

A quick, easy to read summary of a lot of various subjects. Most of it I used to know, so hopefully I remember it next time a pub quiz comes around...
