Publisher's Synopsis

How much did Byron's brain weigh? Why are people said to grin like Cheshire cats? Was the Duke of Clarence really drowned in a Malmsey butt? These and a host of other vexing questions are addressed in this wide-ranging miscellany drawn from the Victorian Notes and Queries. The result is a plum pudding of a book and an ideal gift for the curious.
