Description Share Post An Epic History of Failure A Blundering Book Full of Fun Facts and Mindless Mishaps Written by Natalie Younger, illustrated by Ella Kasperowicz (Neon Squid) War? Medicine? Exploring? Animals? We know some of the successes, but what about An Epic History of Failure? For example the fact that Christopher Columbus believed he’d found a sea route to India’s spice and jewels, he arrived in the Caribbean Islands on every occasion! Then again, for something entirely different, what about discovering ice lollies by accident? Through leaving a drink outside on a freezing night? Furthermore, while we know some of the story of the RMS Titanic, what of other seafaring disasters? For example, insisting upon loading more lifeboats upon an already unstable ship? Thereafter seeing this ship sink into the Chicago River while carrying passengers to a picnic? Then again, what of Australian returned servicemen expecting to receive land upon which to farm, only to be forced to battle… emus? Like FACTopia!, for example, An Epic History of Failure is rich with anecdote and so engaging and readable! Bookwagon recommends this book highly to all readers.
