Generously sprinkled with extra facts and questions from the Elves, Funny You Should Ask . . . is essential reading for the incurably curious.

          Can I dig a tunnel to the other side of the Earth?
          How do plant seeds know which way is up?
          Can you fill up a black hole?
          Who popularised the recorder, and where can I get hold of them?
