Synopsis Authors

Jam-packed with fascinating facts presented with unprecedented hilarity, this joyous journey through the history of inventions is as informative as it is side-splitting.

Do you ever wonder where the stuff around you all came from? No, not from the shops. I mean, who had the amazing idea of making video games or the annoying idea of building a school?

In the latest laugh-out-loud book from the record-breaking and extremely handsome Adam Kay and Henry Paker, you'll learn about everything ever invented, from the daft to the disgusting to the downright dangerous.

You'll discover all about:

- The queen who pooed on the first ever toilet
- How velcro was invented by a dog
- Why the Ancient Greeks wiped their bums on dinner plates
As well as 48,762,851,208 other facts. (Approximately.)
