Strange and surreal stories

This book is intended to amuse and interest you. You'll meet many characters from history and see how they might have behaved in situations you're sure to know about. There are also murderers and victims - some real and some fictitious; there's 'Who Dunnits' and barbaric actions by ordinary people; there are unreal situations faced by very real characters. There are 20 different stories for you to choose and all as fascinating as each other. Was Benedict Arnold a traitor or a hero? Did William Shakespeare really desert his wife for a better life in London? How did Abraham Lincoln earn the name 'Honest Abe? Was Rabbie Burns as enamoured of the lassies as he was said to be? (I think you'll find he was.) The above are just a few examples to grip your interest - but there's much, much more to keep you glued until the end of each story. As for the answers to the above questions, perhaps you'll have a better idea after you've read this book.
