History never had it so good as the present time and this collection is a testament to that. The bonus is that this book of stories from history come with several hints of mystery. Easy to read and often eliciting a chuckle, historical information relating to subjects such as unexpected finds in rock shelters, the fate of Shah Jahan’s peacock throne, or Rabindranath Tagore’s missing Nobel medal, are presented with precision and panache.
Children have always been fascinated by creepy-crawlies, and the common cockroach is a familiar one for most children. This book gives an entertaining insight into its private life, its unique anatomy, its habits and habitats, strange facts like how long a cockroach can hold its breath and its amazing hardiness that has helped it to survive nearly unchanged for millions of years before humans appeared on Earth.
