What are the Seven Wonders of the World and 60 Other Great Cultural Questions
As phrases they are familiar: the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, the seven wonders of the ancient world, the twelve labours of Hercules . . . But can you name the horsemen? Why seven wonders? And who challenged Hercules to clean the Augean stables? This irresistible book takes us from the three sons of Adam and Eve to the twelve signs of the zodiac in sixty culturally significant lists, backed up with a wealth of information and anecdote about each one, to educate, amuse and entertain. An invaluable source of reference, the ideal companion to quizzing and parlour games.
