[Shirley Revill · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook it was truly brilliant.
Lot's of stories some I didn't know others I had forgotten like the attempted kidnapping of Princess Anne.
I never realised for instance that there had been so many assassination attempts on Queen Victoria.
Not to mention the strange story about the author of the third eye Tuesday Lobsang Rampa. Wow, did that guy have a strong imagination.
I was really sorry when I got to the end of the book because it was so interesting listening to the many tales. Recommended.

A good, informative and amusing book to dip in and out of between novels.
I’d recommend this to anyone who loves learning little tidbits of history or likes to watch YouTube videos counting down moments in history etc
