Which star of The Crown is the great-granddaughter of a British prime minister? Which TV quiz show is based on the creator's experience of being interrogated as a prisoner of war? Which property on the Monopoly board does not exist in the real-life London?

A compendium of fascinating and arcane bits of knowledge, mixed amongst a healthy dose of Pointless quizzing, this is a book that takes a quiz as only the starting point of your intelligent adventures.
