Title: Fun book
Product review: This was a fun, easy to read book. Some of the things written seemed to me to be common knowledge. But others amazed me, like:-Christopher Columbus did not have to convince anyone that the world was round. It was common knowledge at that time. The "world is flat" was added to the story by Washington Irving hundreds of years later!-The ancient Olympics were originally cancelled by a Roman emporor who converted to Christianity and felt the games were glorifying Greek gods. The idea to re-enstate them in 1896 came from a French man who wanted the French people to be physically fit to face war with Germany.-Baseball was invented by the British.-Croissants are Austrian.-St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland, was an English slave.Those are just some of the cool things you will learn in this book. The author also lists all his sources, making it easy to read more about the things you found particularly interesting.
