About the book

Synopsis

Forget television, ipods or the latest computer game; no adult will be able to resist this fun and quirky quizbook that topped the French bestseller lists for weeks.

If you've ever wondered whether all that invaluable knowledge that was imparted to you at school has actually stayed with you, here's how you can find out. So whether it's the Battle of Hastings; Pythagoras's Theorem or the irregular french verbs that kept you awake at night, you can revise them all with these amusing, entertaining but also highly informative exercises that have all been adapted for a British readership. And for some more light-hearted relief this treasure-trove of nostalgia also contains games and popular culture tests (sport, film, music, television). It's intriguing, irresistible and highly illuminating. Stuff You Learned At School But Were Afraid You'd Forgotten will guarantee you lots of brain-teasing fun... with some surprising results!
