A collection of over 1000 stories under 400 keyword headings that embrace themes as diverse as absent-mindedness, heckling, resignations and windbags. The anecdotes feature a host of famous names from all walks of life and from all periods of history - monarchs and mistresses, peers and presidents, composers and comedians - each of them presented in a light that is not always flattering but in some way revelatory.
