Unusual Tales from History

This was a fun book and audio book about strange and unusual tales from history. I knew about several, but it was interesting to learn about the others. All are nice, bite sized tales of unusual occurrences that are great for trivia games and history class. I listened to this on audio and enjoyed the strange tales.

fun facts, bad pronunciation

most of these stories, unfortunately, I was already familiar with. only a couple of them were novel. But the pronunciation from the narrator was quite irritating at times. David Ben-Gur-Ee-On not Ben-ger-on, etc.

Interesting Read

A quick read of a lot of interesting stories. Some known and some very unknown.
Super short background on each story but made me curious to look up a few of them.

Great narrator seemed engaged in the content which kept me engaged.
