Critics Review

A wonderful idea, gloriously put into practice. Greg Jenner as is witty as he is knowledgeable

Greg Jenner’s magpie mind takes you through the history of who we are and what we do, answering tons of questions you never thought to ask

Delightful, surprising and hilarious, this is a fascinating history of the everyday objects and inventions we take for granted

One of my all time favourite books about history: erudite, witty and packed with things you’ve never thought about

Like visiting the most wonderful and cluttered museum, each chapter like another room teetering with illuminating ideas and information

A wonderful idea, gloriously put into practice. Greg Jenner as is witty as he is knowledgeable

bright, fun and enjoyable - HISTORY VAULT
