'It would be wrong to dismiss this little gem as a stocking filler... an amusing and fascinating collection of facts.' Hamstead and Highgate Express, 19 October 2006

The follow-up to the popular The Pedant’s Revolt exposes facts we’ve always believed to be wrong but are in fact completely true. Whether you wanted to know if the jaws of a crocodile can indeed be held shut by a single human hand or if Charlie Chaplin suffered the indignity of being unable to compete in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest, this is the book that will provide both of these answers and more. Written by the bestselling Andrea Barham The Pedant’s Return sheds some much-needed light on a number of puzzling assertions that are commonly dismissed as implausible myths.
