Henry J. Defoe

Henry J. Defoe writes fact books for people who can't stop asking "wait, really?"

A lifelong collector of the strange, the surprising and the genuinely useful, he digs through science, history, space and the weird corners of the natural world to find the facts worth repeating — then writes them so they actually stick.

His books are built for curious minds of every age: quick to dip into, hard to put down, and dangerous at dinner parties.

When he isn't fact-hunting, he's usually losing an argument he started with a fact.
