Synopsis

'I love these books ... the best books ever. Brilliant' Chris Evans

The sixth book in the bestselling series brings bizarre, astonishing, conversation-starting facts from the clever clogs at the hugely popular BBC quiz show QI.

Iceland imports ice cubes.

A group of ladybirds is called a loveliness.

It is illegal in Saudi Arabia to name a child Sandi.

Eight billion particles of fog can fit into a teaspoon.

People who read books live longer than people who don't.

Prince Philip was born on a kitchen table in Corfu.

No human beings have ever had sex in space.

Netfiix's biggest competitor is sleep.

Mice sigh up to 40 times an hour.

About the Authors

John Lloyd CBE is the creator of QI and founding producer of The News Quiz, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Spitting Image, Blackadder and No Such Thing As The News.

James Harkin is a senior researcher, writer and script-editor for the BBC's QI, and one-fourth of the award-winning podcast No Such Thing As A Fish. He has authored 13 books with the QI Elves and toured sell-out shows across the world, from the London Palladium to the Sydney Opera House. He is a long-suffering fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

John Mitchinson is from the world of books. The original Marketing Director of Waterstone's, he became Managing Director of Cassell, where he published The Beatles, Michael Palin and Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, and now runs Unbound. He's with Einstein: 'There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.'
