From the Author
Hello, Lloyd & Mitchinson here. In case you hadn't spotted it, this is the second QI book, designed to fit snugly next to The Book of General Ignorance.
What is it? It's about animals and how little we know about them. It paints a picture of an unfamiliar world in which elephants can't run, geese mourn their dead, koalas don't drink, leeches have 34 brains, lobsters live for a century, mice sing while having sex, monkeys pay to look at porn, spiders can fly, termites mate for life and worms get addicted to nicotine. It will make you look at our furred- feathered-scaled-creepy-crawly-slimy-wiggly, friends with new-found respect.
Almost none of this material has appeared on the QI TV show before. And, better still, it features 400 diagrams and cartoons by the brilliant Ted Dewan: artist, author, polymath and engineer (we nearly called it The Book of Animal Engineering) plus a Foreword by Stephen Fry (see Treasures, National) and a Forepaw by Alan Davies (see Animals, Best impressions of).
As Mr Fry so elegantly puts it: 'Animals are the oats in the QI muesli, the basic black frock in our wardrobe, the baseline to our phat phunky dub...'
