Ever fallen down a rabbit hole?

Then the Rabbit Hole Detectives - Richard Coles, Cat Jarman and Charles Spencer - are here to do the
burrowing for you.

Why were eight WWII Hurricane fighter planes buried in Ukraine?
What have chimpanzees to do with the invention of toilet paper?

How many dynamite sticks should not be used to blow up a whale?

Which ancient civilisation liked a short tongue and a shaved head?

Written to accompany the unforgettable hit podcast, The Rabbit Hole Book follows Richard, Cat and Charles as they investigate and elucidate weird and wonderful curiosities from history, telling stories that are as often dumbfounding as they are gripping, as unexpected as they are hilarious or deeply moving.
