101 Years of All Black Trivia

History

HarperCollinsPublishers New Zealand

The Big Book of Kiwi Trivia is just that -- big and exlusively kiwi, it contains information on just about anything and everything to do with New Zealand you ever needed to know, wanted to know or even knew you could know. So be warned . . . 
You will discover:
 . . . that a Horrid Spaniard is not what it seems;
 . . . that Dense Tutu is not an African man of the cloth, nor a thick ballet garment;
 . . . that Inchclutha is not the shortest river in New Zealand;
 . . . that prior to 1910 mixed swimming was a no-no, as was sunbathing;
 . . . and much, much more.
From the seriously wacky to the slightly more serious, The Big Book of Kiwi Trivia has something for everyone. It's a book to dip in and out of at will -- to be amazed, amused and even bemused by. It is also a useful resource for quiz evenings or for settling thorny arguments, for once and for all.
