Overview
Why are ladies like arrows? When is a bird not a bird? What do you call a nun with a washing machine on her head? Welcome to the weird new word adventure from David Astle, plunging into the realm of riddles, chasing down and prising open 101 curious questions from around the planet. A mind-trip across time and place, Riddledom uncovers riddle relics from more than 50 cultures, delving into language and deception, sampling Pompeii walls and Twitter feeds. Readers can unravel each mini-chapter, wrestling with riddles from Wonderland or Zanzibar, Oedipus Rex or Harry Potter. French acrobats, lusty dairymaids, ancient monks—you'll meet the lot in Riddledom. Readers will roam Tasmania and Mongolia, seeking out riddles on clay tablets and Popsicle sticks.
