From the alarm clock to the toilet, discover the incredible history all around you in this hilarious and fascinating book from popular historian and podcaster Greg Jenner. Thought history was only in museums? Think again! Join Greg Jenner as he takes you on a trip through the amazing history hidden in the things you use every day. Did you know that the first TV was made out of biscuit tins and knitting needles? Or that the humble paperclip helped lead an anti-war movement? Or that a few hundred years ago it was fashionable to style your hair with cat poo?! Find out the delightful, daft and downright deadly history of your everyday life that your teachers won't tell you about. Bursting with entertaining true stories, this is history – but not as you know it!

As enthusiastic as ever
This might be aimed at kids but I would recommend a listen regardless. Greg has so much enthusiasm and passion for history and it makes the listen more enjoyable. This is a great history of the everyday objects we probably take for granted.

Educational story
I bought this book because it sounded really good and it was. All ages will like it even 121 year old’s.
