The book brings together dozens of false beliefs and misunderstandings about general knowledge, such as that Everest is the world's highest mountain or that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. In a question-and-answer format, it debunks each error, explains how it spread, and provides the correct version, with irony and a popularising spirit.
Published in 2008 by Faber & Faber, it is a QI title with a foreword by Stephen Fry and four words from Alan Davies.
Aimed at fans of trivia, quizzes and general knowledge questions who want surprising facts to share.
