It's just a collection of Wikipedia facts. Some of which are incorrect. Nothing but kindle unlimited spam.

Each one of us has a bizarre, absolutely adorable weird and incredibly interesting side, so why should our countries be any different? This is a beautiful little book about the bizarre characteristics of England.
Did you know that Queen Elizabeth uses her handbag to send messages to the stuff when in a royal visit? How important roses are to the English culture? Did you know that there is a museum in Norfolk dedicated to mustard and one in Lancashire dedicated to lawnmowers? There are anecdotes about theatres, colleges and schools, about inventions and members of the Parliamen, about criminals, executions, kings, queens, animals and athletes. A wonderfully funny and informative book, written with gusto and wit.
And I should definitely visit the Witchcraft museum in Cornwall...
