This book is crammed full of the facts that history books leave out; Leicestershire is home to the world’s largest bell foundry; the world’s first true airplane flight took place over Yorkshire; and Cockayne Hatley is the final resting place of Peter Pan’s beloved Wendy. This fine first edition hardback has a fine and protected jacket. This is a treat of a book. As Gyles Brandreth wrote, “I never knew there was so much I never knew”.
