From the author of BETWEEN THE STOPS and TOKSVIG’S ALMANAC

Sandi Toksvig – broadcaster, writer, actor and seeker of all things whimsical – has turned her probing mind to many of the most intriguing questions of our times in the pages of the Sunday Telegraph for many years. Now, for the very first time, these musings have been collected in one hilarious collection.

In The Chain of Curiosity, Sandi takes the reader on a side-splitting journey through life’s peculiarities in a book packed with wit, wisdom and wonderment. From pondering the joys of World Pencil Day to examining the intricacies of applause etiquette, and from tip-toeing around the delicate art of school report vocabulary to researching the oddest way to meet a sticky end, the tickling tidbits and intriguing revelations contained within the book will delight Sandi’s fans, both old and new.
