Seriously? That Really Happened ?!: 51 Interesting True Stories So Strange They Sound Made Up, The Ultimate Trivia Gift Book for Curious Minds - 6396

Did you know that Julius Caesar once got kidnapped by pirates and told them their ransom demand was too low? Or that Winston Churchill travelled with a fully stocked bar during wartime because, in his words, “necessities” come first? What about the time Australia waged a war against emus—and the birds won? This book is packed with 51 stories that sound fake but aren’t. Every tale is true, every detail is bizarre, and every page reads like you’re hearing it from a drunk historian in a dusty old pub, waving a pint and shouting, “No seriously, look it up!” You’ll meet the French king who thought he was made of glass, a town that literally danced itself to death, and a U.S. president who wanted to meet mole people. You’ll stumble into banana-fueled CIA operations, popes on trial after death, and emperors who used their phones for prank calls. Inside, you’ll find 51 quick, hilarious chapters to dip in and out of. Strange but 100% true stories from all over the world. Tales of royals, rebels, dictators, scientists, and total weirdos. A tone that feels more like late-night storytelling than a school lesson. This is the perfect gift for trivia lovers, history nerds, or curious minds of all ages. If you've ever gone down a Wikipedia rabbit hole at 2 a.m. and thought, “How is this real?” — this book is for you. History isn't boring. It's just been waiting for someone to tell it like a good pub story
