Synopsis
'There were two theories about the Black Death. One was that it was bionic plague.' So says one of Paul Sharpe's history pupils. Or how about this one: 'Elgar taught himself to play the violin, cello and baboon - ' This is a rib-tickling little collection of history howlers. From the mildly diverting to the hilarious, Paul Sharpe's personal collection is sure to pass an hour or two in giggly, heart-warming amusement. A valuable insight into the things that history pupils manage to get so, so wrong -

Review
"The Bionic Plague by Paul Sharpe is a delightful little read you will want to share with everyone and makes a terrific gift book to make people laugh. It is a collection of this teacher's funny responses to test questions on many subjects, which he has collected over thirty years as a teacher. Often the humor comes from just misspelled words, which completely change the answer. Some are obviously by inventive students who have no idea what the test question is about. You will be laughing out loud! A really fun read."--Bonnie Neely "Real Travel Adventures "

paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
