Description of  Toksvig's Almanac 2021: An Eclectic Meander Through the Historical Year [Audiobook]

Author: Sandi Toksvig Narrator: Sandi Toksvig Let Sandi Toksvig guide you on an eclectic meander through the calendar, illuminating neglected corners of history to tell tales of the fascinating figures you didn't learn about at school. From popes who gave birth during papal processions, to the inventor of Scrabble, to pioneering civil rights activist Ida B. Wells, who refused to give up her seat on a train decades before Rosa Parks was born. As witty and entertaining as it is instructive, this is an essential companion to each day of the year.
